Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit January 3, 1994, Nos. 92-15943, 92-70253 (Carpenter v. Department of Transportation)

TROTT, Circuit Judge:

The central question in this case is whether a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) safety regulation can be challenged in district court under § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C. § 794, or whether the Hobbs Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2321, 2342, requires that such a challenge be brought only in the court of appeals.
