Creation Entertainment, Inc. v. Small Business Administration

Case summary

Creation Entertainment, Inc. v. Small Business Administration, No. 1:22-cv-00684 (D.D.C., Judge Amy Berman Jackson), is a judicial review of agency action under the Administrative Procedure Act over a Shuttered Venue Operators Grant. The CourtListener docket, dated June 25, 2026 and the only hosted record, shows the complaint filed March 12, 2022 against the SBA, its Administrator and others; the court's notes describe the complaint as alleging that SBA erred by treating Creation disparately from similarly situated businesses that were granted SVOG awards, and refer to Concert Investor LLC v. SBA, No. 22-5253 (D.C. Cir.), on whether Congress's rescission of unobligated SVOG funds mooted such claims. After consent extensions through 2022 and an amended complaint due August 19, 2022, the parties reached cross-motions for summary judgment in 2026: a May 5, 2026 minute order set the defendants' response and cross-motion for May 27, 2026, the plaintiff's reply for June 26, 2026 and administrative record excerpts for August 10, 2026, and the defendants filed their cross-motion and opposition on May 27, 2026. The hosted docket ends with those May 27, 2026 filings, with no ruling on the motions.
