United States First Circuit

Plaintiffs' claim, that defendants applied an erroneous statutory standard when making the decision to approve 60 temporary certifications for foreign workers, cannot form the basis for the requested declaratory and injunctive relief. District court did not abuse its discretion in denying as futile plaintiffs' motion to amend.
