Counsel for NetChoice and California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) propose continuing their Dec. 8 initial case management conference to April 4, after briefing is complete in Bonta’s 9th Circuit appeal of the preliminary injunction that blocks him from enforcing AB-2273, the state’s age-appropriate social media law (see 2310190030), said their joint stipulation Tuesday (docket 5:22-cv-08861]) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Jose. The parties agree that it would be more efficient to hold the initial case management conference after appellate briefing is complete, “so that the parties’ positions on appeal can be fully developed, and to better inform any necessary case management,” said the stipulation. Bonta’s opening brief in his 9th Circuit appeal is due Dec. 13 and NetChoice’s responding brief is due Feb. 7, with Bonta’s reply due March 13.
Having won a preliminary injunction Aug. 31 blocking Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin (R) from enforcing the state’s age-verification Social Media Safety Act on First Amendment grounds (see 2309010024), NetChoice asked the court Tuesday to deliver the statute a knockout punch.
Montana is enjoined from enforcing SB-419, its statewide TiTtok ban, when it takes effect Jan. 1, said an order late Thursday (docket 9:23-cv-00061) from U.S. District Judge Daniel Molloy in Missoula, granting a motion for a preliminary injunction from TikTok and several TikTok influencers.
The Court of International Trade in a Nov. 30 opinion said that it is likely to have jurisdiction over Chinese exporter Ninestar Corp.'s challenge to its placement on the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List. Following Ninestar's motion for a preliminary injunction against its placement on the list, Judge Gary Katzmann ruled more narrowly, holding Ninestar is likely to show that jurisdiction is proper under Section 1581(i), the court's "residual" jurisdiction, which covers any civil action regarding "embargoes or other quantitative restrictions." While the U.S. said the UFLPA Entity List does not create an embargo since it establishes a rebuttable presumption, Katzmann said the court has exerted jurisdiction over similar embargoes where exemptions or reconsideration are granted.
