5 U.S.C.
§ 703. Form and venue of proceeding
The form of proceeding for judicial review is the special statutory review
proceeding relevant to the subject matter in a court specified by statute or, in
the absence or inadequacy thereof, any applicable form of legal action,
including actions for declaratory judgments or writs of prohibitory or mandatory
injunction or habeas corpus, in a court of competent jurisdiction. If no special
statutory review proceeding is applicable, the action for judicial review may be
brought against the United States, the agency by its official title, or the
appropriate officer. Except to the extent that prior, adequate, and exclusive
opportunity for judicial review is provided by law, agency action is subject to
judicial review in civil or criminal proceedings for judicial enforcement.
