Costco Will Not Appeal to the U.S.
Supreme Court
On June 10, 2008, Costco announced that it will not appeal to the
United States Supreme Court. The lawsuit, filed by Costco in 2004,
challenged several of the state’s laws and regulations concerning
beer and wine distribution. In January, the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals upheld most of the state’s laws.
The Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) will move forward
by cooperating with the legislative Joint Select Committee that is
currently reviewing Washington’s beer and wine regulations. The
review is a continuation Washington State Liquor Control Board’s two
major reviews of the three-tier regulatory system – the Three-Tier
Task Force in 2006 and the Tied House Review in 2007.
This
two-page summary encapsulates the
final information regarding
the Costco v. Hoen lawsuit. Also available is a
timeline and key issues at stake in the lawsuit.
Recent History
January 29, 2008: On this date, the 9th Circuit
Court of Appeals issued its
decision on Costco v Hoen. In its decision, the three member
panel overturned much of the district court decision with the
exception of the Liquor Control Board's enforcement mechanism for
uniform pricing of beer and wine.
February 19, 2008: Costco files a
petition for review and en banc review. By petitioning for
review, Costco is requesting that the full 11-member panel of the
9th Circuit review the ruling. The 9th Circuit has until mid-March
to decide whether to review the decision.
April 1, 2008: The Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals denies Costco’s request for en banc review.
