WASHINGTON-The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has rescheduled for late September oral argument in the $800 million brain cancer suit against Motorola Inc. and others. U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake of Baltimore dismissed the lawsuit last fall.
Oral argument in Christopher Newman’s appeal was to have taken place next month. The court gave no reason for the change.
The 4th Circuit, located in Richmond, Va., also is handling the appeal of five health-related, class-action lawsuits against the mobile-phone industry that Blake threw out in March.
