Before the First Division,

February 10, 1947

No. 51557.

#### Petition 6567-R of Nicholas Gal (New York).

Opinion by

Cole, J.

The additional duties sought to be refunded resulted from this court’s final appraisement, *United States*v. *Nicholas Gal etal.*(15 Cust. Ct. 395, Reap. Dec. 6192), holding export value as the proper basis for appraisement. Petitioner testified that prior to entry he consulted with the United States examiner and furnished all information in his possession concerning the shipments in question. After several conversations with the customs examiner, and subsequent to inquiries in the German market concerning prices and conditions prevailing *159there with respect to aluminum metal covered paper like or similar to that in question, petitioner, following the suggestion of the said customs official, entered his merchandise on the basis of United States value. The United States customs examiner, who passed the shipments under consideration, corroborated petitioner’s testimony relating to the inquiries made before entry, admitting that he told petitioner “the basis of appraisement would be United States value.” He explained his advisory return on the basis of foreign value as resulting from information contained in reports made by Government agents who had conducted investigations in the German market dealing with aluminum metal covered paper. From the entire record it was held that the entry of the merchandise at a less value than that found on final appraisement was without any intention to defraud the revenue of the United States or to conceal or misrepresent the facts of the case or to deceive the appraiser as to the value of the merchandise. The petition was therefore granted. (Abstract 50124 cited.)
Timothy F. Geithner has been substituted for his predecessor, Henry *

Paulson, as Secretary of the Treasury under Fed. R. App. P. 43(c)(2).

 ** This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent 

except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

*** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision

without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
2 09-35940

employment action alleging race, sex, age, and disability discrimination, hostile

work environment, retaliation, and failure to accommodate. We have jurisdiction

under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Vasquez v. Cnty. of Los Angeles, 349

F.3d 634, 639 (9th Cir. 2003), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on the discrimination

and retaliation claims because Nelson failed to raise a triable issue that the IRS’s

proffered nondiscriminatory reasons for its adverse employment actions, such as

his poor performance evaluation, failure to receive a raise, placement on a

performance improvement plan, and termination, were pretextual. See id. at 640-

42, 646. 

The district court properly granted summary judgment on the hostile work

environment claim because Nelson failed to raise a triable issue that he was

subjected to any conduct because of his membership in a protected class. See id. at

642.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Nelson’s

accommodation claim because he failed to raise a triable issue as to whether he

was entitled to an accommodation for his alleged disability or whether the IRS

failed to accommodate his alleged disability. See Zivkovic v. S. Cal. Edison Co.,

302 F.3d 1080, 1089 (9th Cir. 2002) (an employer is not required to provide the
3 09-35940

accommodation that the employee requests or prefers, but need only provide a

reasonable accommodation).

We do not consider Nelson’s contentions raised for the first time in his reply

brief. See Eberle v. City of Anaheim, 901 F.2d 814, 818 (9th Cir. 1990).

Nelson’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.

Long Term Evaluation of Sponge Population Recovery Following a 

Widespread Mortality: Will We Ever Know When Recovery Has Occurred? 

Is Restoration Necessary? 

John Stevely, Donald E. Sweat and Robert Wasno 

Florida Sea Grant Extension Program, Palmetto, FL 

One of the most dramatic manifestations of the perceived deterioration of the Florida Bay 

ecosystem has been widespread sponge mortalities caused by cyanobacteria blooms. During 

1992 and 1993, widespread sponge mortalities significantly impacted sponge population in the 

Florida Keys, U.S.A. The extent of the impacted area was estimated to be approximately 1,000 

km2. The work described here (initiated prior to the mortalities) documented a highly significant 

reduction (over 90%) in sponge community volumetric biomass. Sponge numerical abundance 

data has been collected annually since 1991, allowing for the development of a unique, truly 

long-term (1991-2004) picture of sponge population dynamics following the mortalities. One of 

the project goals was to determine if restoration of hard-bottom sponge communities would be 

necessary. 

As the project has evolved into a long-term picture of sponge population recovery, it is now 

possible to sort out natural sponge population abundance variability. The data identified several 

sponge species that are short-lived, and that widely fluctuate in abundance (Adocia sp., 

Cinachyra sp., Halichondria melanadocia, Haliclona molitiba, Hyrtios sp., Niphates erecta, and 

Tedania ignis). In a sense, it may be impossible to conclude that these species have recovered 

because their abundance is probably constantly changing. On the other hand, the data indicate 

that there are several long-lived sponge species that show gradual consistent recruitment. These 

species dominate sponge community biomass in the study area. Two species, the loggerhead 

sponge (Spheciospongia vesparia) and vase sponge (Ircinia campana) represented 59% of 

sponge community biomass prior to the mortalities. It is apparent that only a few species, such as 

these are important from a resource management perspective because they constitute the bulk of 

sponge habitat and ability to filter water. If these long-lived species successfully recruit, then 

sponge population recovery can be considered complete, as the abundance of other short-lived 

species will continue to fluctuate. 

After ten years there has been significant recovery of sponge populations. However, certain key 

species (in terms of biomass) have not recovered fully, but their reestablishment appears to have 

begun. In this case, recovery of the sponge community biomass, unaided by human intervention, 

appears to be a decades long process.
