Reticulation

The reticulated python (right) can be found in South Asia. A “reticulated statute” was at issue in Baylor All Saints Medical Center v. Kennedy, in which the Fifth Circuit concluded that the district court had no jurisdiction to hear a Medicare-reimbursement dispute when agency review had not been exhausted. The Court noted: “To be sure, a court may waive the administrative exhaustion requirement if administrative remedies would be exhaustive … Howeer, the court does not reach [that issue]  because the case does not satisfy the ‘jurisdictional requirement that claims be presented to the agency.'” No. 24-10934 (Dec. 9, 2025).
