But even with an unending string of anti-tobacco statistics that he can pull from his memory at will, and a pile of exhibits over 2 feet tall, Sanders' case has never seen a day in court. After it was filed in 1994, the suit was put on hold, pending the outcome of the two Americans for Non-Smokers' Rights lawsuits. When Sanders' case was reinstated in 1998, it was refused by the California Superior Court, and Sanders immediately filed an appeal in the 3rd District Court. He is currently awaiting notification to file an opening brief. In the meantime, Sanders has amended his complaint twice, once to include the tobacco industry memos and again to include campaign contribution statistics, a somewhat unusual tactic since the tobacco industry isn't even named as a defendant in the case.
