Opinion and Order in the RJR v FDA Warning Labels Lawsuit

Visit the UCSF Library's Tobacco Control Archives Litigation section for newly posted court documents from the RJR v. FDA lawsuit on graphic warning labels.  Judge Leon's Opinion and Order regarding plaintiffs' (RJ Reynolds, et al.) motion for summary judgment is now up - http://www.library.ucsf.edu/tobacco/litigation/fda

Leon upheld the earlier preliminary injunction and found the FDA's proposed textual and graphic warnings constituted compelled commercial speech and thereby violated the First Amendment.
