Hawke v. U.S. Centrifuge Systems, LLC

Defendants U.S. Innovations Group, Inc. (and several others) petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus to order the trial court to dismiss claims filed against it by Judy Hawke and Carolyn Grimes. Defendants argued that because the claims arose on a federal enclave subject to exclusive federal jurisdiction, the trial court lacked jurisdiction to hear the claims. Finding that defendant did not demonstrate the trial court lacked jurisdiction or that they had a clear right to have those claims dismissed, the Supreme Court denied their petitions for the writ.
