______________________________________Here is the D.C. Circuit's order dismissing Equusearch's challenge to the FAA's prohibition on commercial drone flight and holding that the FAA's cease-and-desist order had no legal effect: ORDER
The order reflect two core principles of administrative law: (1) agencies must follow procedures providing notice and an opportunity to be heard before their orders are binding, and (2) only "final orders" by administrative agencies are subject to judicial review.
If Equusearch, or anyone else, is subject to FAA enforcement actions, they have a right to present their legal arguments against the sanction in an administrative proceeding.
