AFGE v. VA, D.R.I., Judge DuBose

What happened

Hours before a hearing on the motion to enforce, VA issued a fresh termination notice and DOJ argued the motion was moot. DuBose ordered VA to show cause on contempt for a "blatant violation," calling it "blatant disrespect for not just this court's order but for the rule of law.".
