Which courts have heard cases challenging the 2025 reclassification rule and what rulings have they issued?

1. What the sources actually cover — different “reclassification” stories in 2025

The materials returned by the search query treat “reclassification” as a label for several distinct events in 2025: (a) the DEA’s reclassification of cannabis to Schedule III in January 2025 is described in legal-blog coverage and advocacy pieces (but litigation references in the set are limited) ^[3]; (b) the Trump administration’s push to reinstate Schedule F (reclassifying civil‑service jobs) is discussed as policy and as prompting lawsuits by unions and others ^{[1] [4] [2]}; and (c) non-federal reclassification matters such as NCAA school moves and sports‑classification appeals appear in administrative notices ^{[5] [6]}. None of the provided items consolidates which courts heard challenges to a single 2025 rule (available sources do not mention a single litigation docket labeled “2025 reclassification rule”) ^{[3] [1] [5]}.

2. Federal personnel reclassification (Schedule F / Schedule Policy/Career) — courts and litigation posture

Reporting and trackers show litigation around the restoration of Schedule F–type reclassification of federal civil‑service roles. Applied Policy explains the policy and the agenda (Project 2025) behind reclassifying certain career jobs into an excepted service (Schedule F); that piece frames the change as creating risk of easier removals and notes congressional proposals to block it ^[1]. Union trackers and litigation summaries (Just Security/AFGE materials) show that unions have filed suits challenging such executive actions and that those matters reached district court stages and appeals ^{[2] [4]}. The provided summaries indicate active litigation and appeals in federal courts (including the D.C. Circuit briefing schedules referenced by union materials) but do not provide specific named rulings on a discrete 2025 “reclassification rule” in the sources offered ^{[4] [2]}.

3. DEA cannabis reclassification — rule, administrative record, and litigation signals

At least one legal‑practitioner blog summarizes the DEA’s reclassification of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III in early 2025 and asserts the rule was finalized in January 2025 after hearings and comment ^[3]. That piece describes regulatory consequences and the administrative process but the search results in this set do not include specific court opinions that have already decided challenges to the DEA’s rule; therefore the record here shows regulatory finalization and predictions about litigation risk, not a catalog of court rulings (available sources do not mention court decisions that have resolved challenges to the DEA’s January 2025 schedule change) ^[3].

4. Administrative reclassification in other sectors — NCAA and local appeals

The NCAA adopted new reclassification criteria for Division I schools in January 2025; that is an administrative rule by a private association and the reporting is policy/implementation‑oriented rather than litigation-centered ^[5]. Separate local reclassification committees (e.g., high‑school athletic bodies hearing appeals) are noted in regional press but are administrative appeal processes, not federal-court rulings ^{[6] [7]}. None of these items in the search results mentions a court that has issued a decision overturning or upholding those athletic reclassification actions (available sources do not mention court rulings in these athletic reclassification items) ^{[5] [6]}.

5. Where reporting does indicate court involvement — trackers and union litigation

Just Security’s litigation tracker and AFGE’s materials show that challenges to executive reclassification actions were actively litigated in federal district courts and on appeal in 2025, with specific references to motions, TROs, and appellate briefing timetables ^{[2] [4]}. These sources imply that plaintiffs sought injunctive relief and that appeals were advancing (for instance, D.C. Circuit briefing orders), but the provided excerpts do not record dispositive published opinions or a single collecting decision disposing of a 2025 reclassification rule challenge ^{[2] [4]}.

6. How to get a definitive, court-by-court list

To assemble the court-level inventory you asked for (which courts heard challenges to the 2025 reclassification rule and the rulings they issued), reporters and researchers need: (a) the precise regulatory instrument or executive order title and promulgation date you mean by “2025 reclassification rule”; (b) searches of PACER and federal appellate/district court dockets for cases naming that rule or order; and (c) follow-up with legal trackers such as Just Security, SCOTUSblog, Reuters legal reporting, and union/agency press releases for final rulings. The current selection of search results does not provide a single, named rule plus a complete list of court decisions tied to it, so I cannot responsibly list courts and their rulings beyond the general litigation signals cited above (available sources do not mention a consolidated docket list for a single 2025 reclassification rule) ^{[1] [2] [3]}.
