36 Preview U.S. Sup. Ct. Cas. 1 (2008-2009)

handle is hein.journals/prvw36 and id is 1 raw text is: COVERING THE COURT'S ENTIRE OCTOBER CALENDAR OF CASES, INCLUDING ... ALTRA GROUP, INC. V. GOOD ET AL. The plaintiffs in this case sued Philip Morris alleging that the company's description of certain brands of cigarettes as light and as having lowered tar and nicotine is fraudulently misleading because those brands are just as hazardous as full-flavored cigarettes. The trial court granted summary judgment to Philip Morris based on the preemption provision in the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act. The First Circuit reversed, holding that the preemption provision did not extend to the plaintiffs' claims. Now the Court will decide whether federal law preempts state-law claims alleging that it is fraudulently misleading to label cigarettes as light. WINTER ET AL. V. NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL, INC. ET AL. A federal court judge issued a preliminary injunction placing limits on the Navy's use of sonar during coastal training exercises after it failed to prepare an environmental impact statement. The Council on Environmental Quality found the situation created an emergency and ordered alternative arrangements. The Court must now consider the effect of that action, and the validity of the Ninth Circuit's standard for granting preliminary injunctions. www.supremecourtpreview.org n wwwwwwww 11111111 H1
