  • Aluminum Extrusions Fair Trade Committee v. United States, Slip Op. 13-26 (CIT February 27, 2013): In a case concerning heat sinks from China, the court granted the government's motion to dismiss due to lack of jurisdiction. As the court explained, it laced subject matter jurisdiction over under 28 U.S.C. § 1581(i) because jurisdiction is currently available under §1581(c) and the court may take jurisdiction under 1581(i) only when jurisdiction is unavailable under other subsections of 28 U.S.C. § 1581.
