This case was a dispute about where the North Carolina-based company can challenge the FDA’s denial of its application to market e-cigarettes. North Carolina is part of the 4th Circuit. But the company, RJR Vapor, filed a petition for review of that decision in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, and it argued that it could do so because its petition was joined by a business and a trade association from Texas and Mississippi, both of which are located in the 5th Circuit.
