Heading: The Court of International Trade Dismisses Shinyei's '130 Case

Text: In 2002, the United States moved to dismiss Shinyei's complaint in the '130 case. The United States argued that because Customs had actually liquidated Shinyei's entries under the clean up instructions, the actual liquidation was final and conclusive, and prevented the court from assuming or maintaining jurisdiction over Shinyei's APA claim. Alternatively, the United States argued, Shinyei's entries were deemed liquidated, pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 1504(d), on August 23, 1998six months after Commerce published notice of the Amended Review Resultsand the deemed liquidation was final and conclusive, precluding judicial review of Shinyei's APA claim. On February 14, 2003, the Court of International Trade granted the United States' motion to dismiss. Shinyei Corp. of Am. v. United States, 248 F.Supp.2d 1350 (2003) ( Shinyei-CIT(I) ). Relying on cases interpreting our holding in Zenith Radio Corp. v. United States, 710 F.2d 806 (Fed.Cir.1983), the court held that Shinyei's claim and the relief requested became moot as a result of Customs' [actual] liquidation of the entries at issue, depriving the court of subject matter jurisdiction. Shinyei-CIT(I), 248 F.Supp.2d at 1358-59. Notably, the Court of International Trade did not consider the United States' argument about deemed liquidations. See Shinyei-CIT(I), 248 F.Supp.2d at 1361 n. 22 (The Court does not reach the issue of 'deemed liquidations' of the entries at issue since both Defendant and Shinyei agree that the entries at issue were in fact liquidated.).
