U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
Ricks v. United States
August 13, 2026
Summary
The court summarily affirmed the Court of Federal Claims's denial of Ricks's motion to proceed in forma pauperis because his opening brief did not present a cogent, nonfrivolous challenge to that determination and instead appeared to attack his criminal conviction. The court also denied all pending motions and assessed costs to each party individually.
