The court case is US Association of Importers of Textiles and Apparel v. United States (05-1209). The case can be found at http://fedcir.gov/opinions/05-1209.pdf.
The US textile industry filed twelve threat-based cases on US imports of textile and apparel from China in the Fall of 2004. The US Court of International Trade enjoined the US government from considering threat-based safeguard cases on December 30, 2004.
Prior to issuing today's opinion, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stayed the CIT injunction on May 28, 2005.

It also enabled the US government to approve three additional cases covering cotton shirts and trousers and cotton and man-made fiber underwear on basis of both threat and market disruption.to issuing today's opinion, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stayed the CIT injunction on May 28, 2005.
