we ask reversal of the dismissal of our complaint for regulatory taking resulting from the f d a as action of classifying the perishable tomatoes of our clients and publicly warning or prolonged period that the maid is presented a hazardous danger of salmonella contamination and were unsafe to consume even if watched which actions on the latest even though the government's actions were a regulatory means intended to stop sale and distribution of the maid is pending the government's investigation said would sale have been illegal that would be have been sold in the face of a warning of contamination and yes or they were illegal they would have been punishable it would been part of the way it was wonderful to sell those tomatoes it would have been if they had been deceased potential sweep of an argument that warnings without official coercion or regulatory structure imposed seems to be a different kettle of fish from what we've typically dealt with in the takings area there are an awful lot of government warnings whether it's the surgeon general on cigarette whether it's warnings about airbags potentially unsafe a warning from homeland security for example that there is a threat of a bomb on a transatlantic flight and this delta airlines in that situation have  be rescheduled you have to see what happened here we had a intentional african descent on that flight get it we've got also the airline loses all the passengers that play it loses all the money from that how is that distinguishable from the situation you're arguing i don't know that that wouldn't be a taking i doubt it in the circumstances would have to i think you're entitled to look at what happened i don't think that particular instance would amount to it may not be enough damage to the property i don't know the situation in iraq it speculate i think the case law deals with what we've got here and in this circumstance we've got a distinct regulatory action directed to these tomatoes intended to suspend the market intended to stop their sales and it does have that effect and it wouldn't make any difference whether it was a prohibition or whether it was a war of this nature or indeed this was an order entered this this action was taken under the regs up first the court it was the means it was probably the most of a warning to the f d a to take this kind of action it was the least it was the most effective one of the one of the regs in a bridge that was twenty one seven each individual case and we examine the factors underpinned central that's the element that that's not to me that's not really very helpful in trying to tease apart the kinds of this case i'd say from  of cases some of the examples that we talked about earlier i'm supposed to take another one that seems to me maybe close to the tomato case the surgeon general says sugary soft drinks are very bad for your health now that's a warning it says schoolchildren in particular should not be drinking sugary soft drinks is that it taking from the soft drink manufacturers because there's going to be a loss presumably anybody listens to that to the surgeon general this will be a lot of sites that's an informational neutral publication release of information of scientific perhaps controversial information that is not apparent you did it devise regulatory means wines that not as targeted as this they are you're targeting the soft drink industry and you're saying soft drinks sold in schools are ads for the health of children that sounds targeted to me i just believe that the government has the right to release information that would not be taken unless it was intended i think we'll have to hit it if they decide to and i don't think so i think that would be a neutral publication of scientific information that your business is putting soda machines in public schools and the surgeon general comes out and says don't tell these to kids and all the school systems based on that remove the surface of the sat that local business has lost its business get to the f a a cases the farm powers will case and the cases that brennaman and the others cases that rely on that you see the cases say when you don't have the power to back it up when you don't when you just have a naked advisory power that's not a take of that can't be a taking but when you have this power that f d a had to enforce their wars when you know that the order can be enforced when you know that there's penalties associated with with the with with what can happen when you can induce the fear that's just like the sports a m d decision saying the government can course here what we've got as is a dissuasion course which is even less because business men are risk averse they don't they simply don't mind you're dealing by the way with bulk buyers you're not dealing with a consumer in public you're consuming with both buyers who have no information and summers by the way the summer's over distribute either because you have no information other than what the government has given you that tells me this is dentures and no one is going to consume it i'm not going to sell it i'm not going to buy it and the market is frozen and loony perishable product is a turn how many states produce mai well in this case it was focused on this region which primarily explored iraq well being the man there the records show that that what they said was tomatoes from certain states are prevented or whether kit was made in effect a long time there's criticism here that the evidence would show that they did not use industry trace back sources that there is a problem here that needs to be examined and the interests and the evidence explored to determine the character of the of the take that's what we're talking about the character of the government's action which is to be considered as part of the penn central nelse and we have to look at all of bankers this is not the only case where a prohibition has not been the issue there are other cases that where the court doesn't think that the government acted lawfully i think we're not suggesting the government acted as lawfully here are you know they ha assess if the government determined that the railroad lines running north out of florida were in some fashion on say and as a consequence delayed the shipment of the tomatoes on monday would that be a put a rail line through it they're entitled to do that it's clearly proper but it's still a take in and they still have to pay just compensation whether the government was correct or not in taking an action it's irrelevant the taking the question is whether then there would be no taking are you also saying that if the government had acted entirely reasonable so that there was very high i likelihood that the florida tomatoes with the source of a salmonella infection but it turns out surprisingly that they weren't would that be a take that would have to be examined as part of the factors that i think that would be important all of that would be an issue that we would have to look at and balance underpants and that's about necessity and you were taking preventative actions to prevent that the danger for example if you were to guess my question concerns you would be a natural self it is an actual necessity if it turns out at after the fact that there wasn't a problem even difference it's a warning so that i need to it by virtue of a warning it has no impact on the plaintiffs property rights there is no impact on the plaintiffs rates to use their tomatoes to sell them to hide them to dispose and to do whatever they want with them there  can create liability if that warning while a warning doesn't take property rights and i think that's what it boils down to here there must be a restriction on the property there must be something that it's made of producers could do authorities that the plaintiff cite are do not support their claim they don't support cite a single piece and which the court found that a warning that information disseminated to the public was sufficient to state a claim for regulatory taking now you position in your brief and not reiterate it here seems to be that there has to be a regulation or statute that prohibits the action in question by the person that just the victim of the taking or effectively appropriates property of that person but what about cases i'm wondering whether that isn't too narrow a test what about cases such as the auto dealers case or the  litigation pressure on contract parties that the government employs that it's deemed to be of course but isn't regulatory or statutory nature wouldn't that qualify as the basis for his take on discern circumstances when there is some sort of restriction i think you mention years ago if you know that he's the corps of engineers sent a plane that's a letter saying you are prohibited from mining on this property but that was that letter was not the product of any regulatory authority to to prohibit i take it i mean that they would simply saying we're going to threaten you with a lawsuit right there are certain that that would be the predicate for taking not well the court found that it was in that case and then a m d auto sales the court found that a requirement that was alleged to be mandatory was mandatory that the dealer terminations take place in as a condition of the government financing so you are not you're not really wedded to the regulation or statute line that you drew in the brief right we said that that was that was a that was a principle that would seem to be a common theme in every single case and when there wasn't necessarily a formal rule making or regulation there little case the f d a and that issuing a warning that said we have some issues or some problems we think the problem is these tomatoes you know these tomatoes are not to be salt they didn't actually seize them they didn't order the producers to destroy the but they ordered them not kill without taking them off of you taking that may be a situation in which a factual record could be developed in this case no factual record could be developed that would support the claim that you think is your strongest case i was unable to find any case that actually dealt with a pure warning what do you think is the strongest start to you have for either covering a position that and make the announce a position and the and they say this would be wrong in effect which is in the nature of a type of warning and the business and the court says no businessman is going to risk this  get out when they don't have any apart or they just tell them and they leave so the government can take action which is intended to cause a loss of property or which they can foreseeable and will cause a loss of property in this circumstance we want the opportunity to prove that they knew it that had that in to it logically flowed and it cost a problem that we should not have to bear that's the key thanks so much
