SHEPHERD, J.,
specially concurring.
As succinctly stated by the majority, the issue before us was not properly preserved for appellate review. See supra p. 931. Because “[tjhis is a sufficient ground for deciding this case, ... the cardinal principle of judicial restraint — if it is not necessary to decide more, it is necessary not to decide more — counsels us to go no further.” PDK Labs. Inc. v. U.S.D.E.A., 362 F.3d 786, 799 (D.C.Cir.2004) (Roberts, J., concurring). We should affirm on the basis of lack of preservation alone.
