Law360 (January 14, 2026, 3:09 PM EST) -- The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear cigar maker Swisher International Inc.'s appeal in a long-running contractual and antitrust dispute with Trendsettah USA Inc., leaving intact a Ninth Circuit ruling that revived part of a jury verdict and more than $10 million in related attorney fee awards.
Swisher had asked the justices to review whether Trendsettah was improperly allowed to force an appeal by voluntarily dropping its own claims after the Ninth Circuit refused to hear an earlier appeal. Swisher argued that letting a party dismiss its claims just to get appellate review conflicts with Supreme Court precedent and violates constitutional limits on federal court jurisdiction. The justices on Monday denied Swisher's petition for a writ of certiorari.
The dispute traces back to Trendsettah's "Splitarillo" cigarillo business and a manufacturing agreement with Swisher. A jury awarded Trendsettah more than $9 million on contract claims and about $44 million on antitrust claims after trebling. After a criminal case against Trendsettah founder and trial witness Akrum Alrahib exposed tax-evasion-related misconduct, a California federal judge set aside the verdict and ordered a new trial, setting off years of procedural fights over the verdict and attorney fee awards.
Swisher was represented at the Supreme Court by Theodore J. Boutrous Jr. of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher and Michael C. Marsh and Ryan Roman of Akerman LLP.
The case is Swisher International Inc. v. Trendsettah USA Inc. et al., case number 25-569, in the Supreme Court of the United States.
