Samsung Electronics, represented by Lewis Brisbois attorneys James Doyle, Jessica Odom and Andy Eaton and former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Harold Melton of Troutman Pepper, recently filed a petition for certiorari with the Georgia Supreme Court to appeal an $11 million default judgment in the case of an exploding vape pen.
The petition came after a Georgia Court of Appeals opinion penned by Presiding Judge Anne Elizabeth Barnes, with Presiding Judge Stephen Dillard and Senior Appellate Judge Herbert Phipps concurring, determined a Chatham County State Court incorrectly set aside the judgment against defendant-appellant, Samsung, released on June 30.
