DoJ, FCC Urge Supreme Court To Reject Cellphone Case

摘要

The Department of Justice and the FCC have urged the Supreme Court to refuse to hear a challenge from a petitioner alleging health hazards from using cellphones manufactured and sold in compliance with the FCC's radiofrequency (RF) standards. In an amicus curiae brief filed in Francis J. Farina v. Nokia, Inc., et al. (case 10-1064),U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. and FCC General Counsel Austin Schlick said, "The court of appeals correctly held that petitioner's suit is preempted because the state-law rule it seeks to impose would conflict with the FCC's RF regulations."
