This case involves a legal maneuver that has allowed tobacco and\u200d vape companies \u2062to contest regulations \u2062in more favorable federal\u200b courts, particularly the conservative\u200c 5th Circuit Court\u2062 of \u200dAppeals, which covers Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. <\/p>\n<p>Federal law typically allows corporations to challenge FDA actions in either Washington, D.C., federal \u200dcourt,\u2063 or where the company is based. However, \u2064the 5th Circuit has permitted \u2063companies to file lawsuits if their \u200bproducts are sold within \u200bits jurisdiction, which has led to concerns about venue shopping\u2014choosing a court thought to be more favorable. The Biden administration, seeking to curb this practice, argues that such\u2064 rules undermine federal regulatory efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The case also touches \u2064on the FDA&#8217;s\u2062 rejection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-bidens-menthol-ban-endangers-black-bodies\/\" title=\"How Biden\u2019s Menthol Ban Endangers Black Bodies\">flavored vaping products<\/a> from R.J. Reynolds\u2062 Vapor Company, \u200dhighlighting how the\u2063 ability to select court venues can impact regulatory compliance and enforcement. Legal experts suggest that\u200c a ruling in\u2063 this case could significantly alter how administrative law cases, particularly\u2064 those involving the FDA, are litigated. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to the \u200bvaping case,\u2064 the Supreme Court is set to\u2063 hear other notable cases, including one concerning Mexico&#8217;s lawsuit against\u200d U.S. gun manufacturers over firearms trafficking related \u200bto drug cartels, \u2063and a \u200dcapital\u2064 case involving a death row inmate seeking DNA testing to prove his innocence.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Supreme Court takes 15 new cases, including another vape industry suit<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1763698\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Just before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scotus-hears-arguments-from-tenn-v-miss-water-dispute\/\" title=\"SCOTUS hears arguments from Tenn. v.

(AP Photo\/Patrick Semansky)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The case focuses on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, one of the most conservative in the nation, which has become a more attractive venue for vape and tobacco industry giants seeking to contest regulations under the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>Federal law states that corporations can challenge FDA policies in Washington, D.C., federal court, or where the company&rsquo;s place of business is located. But under a rule in the 5th Circuit, plaintiffs have been allowed to bring challenges to that venue so long as a product made by the principal company is sold by a retail store within the 5th Circuit&rsquo;s jurisdiction, which spans Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This Court should grant review to put a stop to that practice,&rdquo; U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar wrote in court filings, signaling a direct feud with the looser restrictions under the 5th Circuit.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the question of venue shopping, the underlying dispute surrounds the FDA&rsquo;s denial of North Carolina-based R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company&rsquo;s bid to introduce three flavored vapes to the market. The company sells its products at convenience stores in the three states under the 5th Circuit&rsquo;s jurisdiction, so it has been able to take advantage of the appeals court&rsquo;s looser restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>Case Western Reserve University Law School professor Jonathan Adler described the case as one that &ldquo;could curtail forum shopping in administrative law cases.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignleft is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SCOTUS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SCOTUS<\/a> grants a case that could curtail forum shopping in administrative law cases.
