IN THE MATTER OF ALTRIA GROUP, INC., AND JUUL LABS, INC.
Docket No. 9393. Order, May 27, 2022 Order scheduling oral argument.
ORDER SCHEDULING ORAL ARGUMENT Complaint Counsel have filed their Appeal Brief perfecting their appeal from the Initial Decision in this matter; Respondents have filed their Answering Brief; and [Complaint Counsel must file their Reply Brief on or before May 31, 2022] or [Complaint Counsel filed their Reply Brief on May 31, 2022]. Commission Rule 3.52(b)(2), 16 C.F.R. § 3.52(b)(2), provides that the Commission ordinarily will schedule an Oral Argument within fifteen days after the date on which the Reply Brief is filed. Commission Rule 3.51(a), 16 C.F.R. § 3.51(a), however, provides that the Commission may extend for good cause any of the time periods relating to an appeal from an Initial Decision. The briefing in this proceeding raises numerous issues and draws upon an extensive evidentiary record, and a new Member of the Commission has recently taken office. The Commission therefore has determined to conduct the Oral Argument in this matter on July 14, 2022, commencing at 1:00 pm EDT. The argument will be conducted virtually, by video conferencing. Pursuant to Rule 3.52(h), 16 C.F.R. § 3.52(h), public access to the argument, to the extent permitted by any in camera orders and for monitoring purposes only, will be provided via telephone or live web streaming.
Each side will be allotted forty-five minutes to present its argument. Complaint Counsel will have the opportunity to open the argument and may reserve time for rebuttal. If either side wishes to provide the Commission with a short written or electronic compilation of material to facilitate its presentation during the Oral Argument, any such compilation may contain only public information that is already in the record of the proceeding, and copies must be filed with the Secretary of the Commission and provided to opposing counsel no later than July 7, 2022, at 5:00 pm EDT.
By the Commission.
