The decision by the full appeals court in Washington not to reconsider a three-judge panel’s decision that upheld the ruling comes days after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai proposed to undo the 2015 net neutrality that reclassified internet providers like public utilities.

The 2015 order bars Internet providers from blocking, throttling, or giving “fast lanes” to some websites.

Pai has proposed reversing the reclassification and scrapping internet conduct standards, and has asked for comment on whether the FCC can or should retain any of the rules barring blocking, throttling, or “fast lanes.”

Judge Sri Srinivasan said in a written opinion reviewing the decision “would be particularly unwarranted at this point in light of the uncertainty surrounding the fate of the FCC’s order.”

The FCC is set to hold an initial vote on May 18 on Pai’s proposal but Srinivasan questioned why the full court should review “the validity of a rule that the agency had already slated for replacement.”

Two dissenting opinions said the 2015 order was unlawful because Congress did not grant the FCC authority to reclassify internet providers.

Judge Janice Rogers Brown said the order “shows signs of a government having grown beyond the consent of the governed.”

Judge Brett Kavanagh wrote that the order violates the First Amendment rights of internet providers.

“The government must keep its hands off the editorial decisions of Internet service providers,” he wrote, suggesting the government cannot force a bookstore or Amazon.com (AMZN) “to feature and promote all books in the same manner.”

Srinivasan said Internet providers under Kavanagh’s ruling “would have a First Amendment entitlement to block and throttle content based on their own commercial preferences even if they had led customers to anticipate neutral and indiscriminate access to all internet content.”

In a written statement Monday, Pai said the decision not to rehear the decision was expected and he praised points raised in the dissents.

Websites like Facebook (FB), Alphabet (GOOGL) and others back the rules, saying they guarantee equal access to the internet.

Internet providers such as AT&T (T) , Verizon Communications (VZ), and Comcast (CMCSA) opposed the Obama order, saying it made it harder to manage internet traffic and discouraged investment.

Chip Pickering, head of the trade group INCOMPAS that includes Amazon, Facebook, and Netflix (NFLX), said the decision was a “blow to those who want to take away open internet protections, raise prices and cut off the streaming revolution.”
