Supreme Court grants review of UCL preemption decision
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court granted review of In re Tobacco Cases II, 123 Cal.App.4th 617 (2004), in which the Court of Appeal held that the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 1331 et seq.) preempted plaintiffs' UCL claim, which asserted that defendants improperly marketed their tobacco products to minors. Here is a link to the docket. My original posts on the Tobacco decision are here and here.
