Summary: written with AI from the case record.
What it's about
Nexstar argues that this approach conflicts with an Eighth Circuit decision and that Loper Bright required independent review.
The petition concerns how much weight an appeals court should give the NLRB's legal conclusions.
Question presented
1. Whether the Second Circuit’s deferential approach causes a circuit split with an Eighth Circuit decision addressing the same legal issue? 2. Whether the Second Circuit erred in declining to apply Loper Bright Enter. v. Raimondo, 603 U.S. 369 (2024) and not conducting non-deferential de novo review of the Board’s legal conclusions?
What happens next
The petition was distributed for the Court's Nov. 13, 2026 conference, where the justices can consider whether to hear it. That does not mean review was granted or guarantee an order date.
