The Application
History
President Trump terminated CPSC commissioners mid-term without establishing cause. Judge Maddox reinstated them, finding the terminations violated the statutory 'for cause' requirement. The government appealed the reinstatement order, contesting either the scope of statutory protection or the sufficiency of any stated cause.
The Conclusion
The Fourth Circuit appeal is active and pending. Judge Maddox's reinstatement order remains in effect, so the commissioners hold their offices pending appellate resolution.
