A three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of International Trade in Manhattan and a federal judge in Washington have already said that Trump did not have the unilateral authority to impose tariffs without congressional input. The Trump administration has appealed both decisions in cases brought by 12 U.S. states and several small businesses.

Judge Corley's ruling is more limited than any of the other rulings and does not comment on the legality of Trump's tariffs. Instead, she ruled that California should have filed its lawsuit with the Court of International Trade, which has exclusive jurisdiction over tariff disputes in the United States.

California, which opposed the transfer of the case, asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuit rather than transfer it. This will allow the state to appeal to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
