“Defendants in this action, cigarette manufacturers and trade organizations, appeal from the district courts judgment finding them liable for conducting the affairs of their joint enterprise through a pattern of mail and wire fraud in a scheme to deceive American consumers. They also appeal from the district courts remedial order, which imposes numerous negative and affirmative duties on Defendants. The government and intervenors cross-appeal from the district courts denial of additional requested remedies. After considering all of the parties arguments, we affirm in large part the finding of liability, remanding only for dismissal of the trade organizations. We also largely affirm the remedial order, including the denial of additional remedies, but vacate the order with regard to four discrete issues, remanding for further proceedings as directed in this opinion.”
