Facts

Plaintiff Dongsheng Huang sought to enforce a judgment from the Department of Labor (DOL) against Defendant Ultimo Software Solutions, Inc. for back pay and damages. Huang requested the court to order Ultimo to pay him directly, contrary to DOL policy, which required payments to be made to the agency's administrator. The court previously dismissed Huang's claims due to a lack of subject matter jurisdiction, noting that the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) only allows for review of agency decisions under specific conditions.

Analysis

It noted that Huang conceded the APA did not provide jurisdiction and that the other statutes and regulations he cited did not establish a cause of action that would allow the court to exercise jurisdiction over his claims.
