President Donald Trump‘s sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs have faced several lawsuits, but after an initial setback in court, the president has racked up some recent wins.

The tariffs, which included a 10% blanket tariff globally, remain in effect after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit paused an initial Court of International Trade decision to block the tariffs, and after the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia stayed its own order for 14 days pending an appeal by the Trump administration. Days after the chaotic 24 hours of conflicting court orders, Trump has won some key victories, including a dismissal of a case challenging the tariffs in California.

On Monday, Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed California’s lawsuit against the Trump administration regarding the tariffs over a lack of jurisdiction.

The ruling partially sided with the Trump administration, which argued that the case should be moved to the CIT. However, Judge Scott Corley went further and dismissed the case entirely because California officials opposed the case being transferred to the New York-based court.

“Because this lawsuit arises out of executive orders imposing tariffs, and because those executive orders are ‘provisions of law for all purposes,’ this action arises out of laws providing for tariffs and this Court is divested of jurisdiction. Because California requests dismissal rather than transfer to the CIT, transfer is not in the interest of justice,” Scott Corley wrote in the order, arguing the case falls in the CIT’s “exclusive jurisdiction.”

The decision allows California to appeal the order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, a typically left-leaning appeals court. State officials quickly filed a notice that they intend to appeal the decision to that court.

Trump also received a stroke of luck regarding the three-judge appeals court panel that will hear his challenge to the D.C. district court’s ruling that his tariffs are unlawful. Judges Gregory Katsas, Neomi Rao, and Justin Walker, the three judges who have been presented with the emergency appeal of the decision, are all Trump-appointed.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has requested the companies suing the Trump administration reply to the appeal by Wednesday at 5 p.m., while the Trump administration will have until Friday at 5 p.m. to respond to that filing. The lower court’s stay of the preliminary injunction is slated to expire next Thursday.

While the Trump tariff legal cases play out in lower federal courts, the dispute over whether Trump’s tariffs are legal is likely to reach the Supreme Court. No petition has been filed to the high court in any of the cases yet, however.

The president has continued to pursue his sweeping tariff policies despite the litany of lawsuits.

“If other Countries are allowed to use Tariffs against us, and we’re not allowed to counter them, quickly and nimbly, with Tariffs against them, our Country doesn’t have, even a small chance, of Economic survival,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday.
