CAFC Grants Exporter's Voluntary Dismissal of ITC Case, Renames US Cross-Appeal

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted exporter CVB's bid to voluntarily dismiss its appeal of an injury finding on mattresses from various Asian countries. Since the U.S. is continuing its cross-appeal in the matter, the appellate court renamed the case in a Nov. 18 order. Judge Jimmie Reyna renamed the case to In Re United States (Fed. Cir. # 24-1566).

The government's cross-appeal will proceed on the Court of International Trade's refusal to redact parts of its public opinion that parties were concerned included business proprietary information (see 2410300011). The trade court emphasized the need for transparency in the judicial system in rejecting the ITC's efforts to redact information in its decision (see 2401090046).

The cross-appeal has garnered outside attention, including amicus briefs from the ITC Trial Lawyers Association and the Customs and International Trade Bar Association (see 2410090048).
