following:
Weyerhaeuser Response to Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Decision
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today issued the following
statement in response to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit decision in the Ross-Simmons Hardwood Lumber Co. case.
"We are very disappointed with the opinion of the Ninth Circuit appellate panel.
It remains our position that our conduct has been lawful and fully consistent
with the standards set by the United States Supreme Court. We believe that
this panel of the Ninth Circuit failed to follow appropriate Supreme Court
precedent, so we will seek further review."
The Ross-Simmons case is one of a series of lawsuits relating to Weyerhaeuser's
Northwest Hardwoods business awaiting trial or on appeal.
