United States Department of Agriculture lllllllllllllllllllllRespondent ____________ Petition for Review of an Order of the Department of Agriculture ____________ Submitted: August 7, 2014 Filed: August 22, 2014 [Unpublished] ____________ Before WOLLMAN, GRUENDER, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Lee Marvin Greenly and his company, Minnesota Wildlife Connection, Inc., petition for review of two orders of the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture. We conclude that substantial evidence supports the Secretary s order revoking Greenly s license under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), directing him and Minnesota Wildlife Connection to cease and desist from violating the AWA, and assessing a civil penalty of $11,725, see Cox v. USDA, 925 F.2d 1102, 1104 (8th Cir. 1991) (standard of review), and we therefore deny the petition for review of the revocation order. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also grant the Secretary s motion to dismiss Greenly s petition for review of a second order terminating Greenly s license and disqualifying him from seeking a new one for two years. ______________________________ -2-
