- United States
- Dec 11, 2002
- U.S. Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit
Several tobacco manufacturers sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), challenging a report declaring that tobacco was a known human carcinogen. The district court ruled in favor of tobacco companies and the EPA appealed, arguing that the district court incorrectly held that the report was a final, reviewable agency decision. The Court agreed, dismissing the case.
