Investors in Mississippi's public employees' retirement system sued Seagate Technology Holdings for deceiving its investors and causing them to buy Seagate stock at "artificially inflated prices" related to its conduct in illegally exporting hard disk drives to China. (Public Employees' Retirement System of Mississippi v. Seagate Technology Holdings, N.D. Cal. # 3:23-03711).
Three plaintiffs in an Enforce and Protect Act case at the Court of International Trade cited the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's recent decision in Royal Brush Manufacturing Co. v. U.S. as being "directly relevant" to their own lawsuit. In Royal Brush, the Federal Circuit said CBP violated importer Royal Brush's due process rights by refusing to provide it access to the business confidential information in the EAPA proceeding (see 2307270038). In their case against CBP's finding of evasion of the AD/CVD orders on glycine from China, plaintiffs Newtrend USA Co., Starille and Nutrawave Co. said the Royal Brush decision relates to their first count, which also says CBP violated their due process rights. The companies said they are prepared to submit briefs on the significance of the opinion ahead of the deadline for the U.S. and the petitioner to submit their reply briefs (Newtrend USA Co. v. U.S., CIT # 22-00347).
The International Trade Commission's decision not to cumulate imports of cold-rolled steel from Brazil with those of China, India, Japan and the U.K. in sunset reviews "conflicts" with Court of International Trade precedent, U.S. steel company Cleveland-Cliffs said in a July 31 reply brief. The company also said the commission didn't follow precedent when it decided not to cumulate imports from Brazil with those from South Korea (Cleveland-Cliffs v. U.S., CIT # 22-00257).
Valve pressure relief components should have been granted Section 301 exclusions, importer Bray International and three of its affiliates said in a July 31 complaint at the Court of International Trade (Bray International v. U.S., CIT # 21-00332).
The following lawsuit was recently filed at the Court of International Trade:
The Court of International Trade should reject a request by importer Southern Cross Seafood to supplement the record in a case over the denial of an import application for Chilean sea bass (Patagonian Toothfish) because the documents sought are not part of that record, DOJ and the National Marine Fisheries Service said July 24 (Southern Cross Seafoods v. U.S., CIT # 22-00299).
The Court of International Trade in a July 31 order granted a motion from antidumping duty petitioners led by ArcelorMittal Tubular Products seeking to file its response to the court's questions for oral argument out of time. Judge Gary Katzmann granted the request despite exporter Goodluck India's motion to clarify whether the company had to respond to the submission, seeing as the petitioners filed their response nearly an hour late without filing a request to file it out of time (Goodluck India v. United States, CIT # 22-00024).
The Court of International Trade should sustain the Commerce Department's remand results in an antidumping duty investigation on utility scale wind towers from Spain, DOJ said July 31, arguing that respondent Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) failed to show that it shouldn't be subject to an AFA rate (Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy v. U.S., CIT # 21-00449).
A sunset review of an antidumping duty order on hot-rolled steel flat products from Turkey doesn't render a request for a changed circumstances review meaningless, Turkish exporter Ereğli Demir ve Çelik Fabrikalari (Erdemir) said in a July 28 brief opposing motions to dismiss at the Court of International Trade (Ereğli Demir ve Çelik Fabrikalari v. U.S. International Trade Commission, CIT # 22-00350).
