  1. Stratman v. Leisnoi Inc. et al

    RESPONSE in Opposition re MOTION to Dismiss For Mootness Under ANILCA, Section 1427 and the Secretary of Interior's Decision, 120 MOTION to Dismiss per Rule 12

    Filed June 11, 2007

    Because any ambiguity as to Congress’ intent must be interpreted as an unambiguous intent not to repeal the prior statute, there is no “ambiguity” for purposes of Chevron deference for an agency to resolve. This was also the Ninth Circuit’s holding in Lujan-Armendiaz v. INS, 222 F.3d 728 (9th Cir. 2000). As discussed above, in Lujan-Armendiaz, the Court held that a new statutory amendment to the immigration laws defining the term “conviction” did not impliedly repeal the provisions of the Federal First Offender Act, which provided for the exemption of certain first-time convictions from any use against the offender under the immigration laws.

    As a second reason for not applying Chevron deference, Stratman argues that whether section 1427 ratified Leisnoi’s eligibility is not the type of issue that Congress would have implicitly delegated to the Secretary to decide.63 Stratman cites Food and Drug Administration v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp.64 in support of his argument.65 In that case, the FDA had asserted jurisdiction under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to regulate tobacco products.66 The FDA had concluded that nicotine was a “drug” within the meaning of the Act and that cigarettes and smokeless tobacco 61 Docket 96-3, at 13. 62 222 F.3d 728, 749 (9th Cir. 2000). 63 Docket 171, at 64-65.
