Every decision we've filed under Antitrust (Criminal).
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed a conviction for conspiracy to violate the Sherman Act involving the ready-mix concrete industry. The court found sufficient evidence of price fixing, bid rigging, and market allocation among competitors.
The Fourth Circuit remanded the case to determine if the named plaintiffs have standing to seek injunctive relief for opioid use disorder treatment. The court affirmed the lower court's certification of a class seeking damages for the denial of such medical care.
The Tenth Circuit dismissed Kevin Tamar Davis's appeal because his appellate brief failed to comply with federal procedural rules. Despite the dismissal, the court granted his motion to proceed in forma pauperis while warning him about the consequences of a third strike under the PLRA.
The Third Circuit affirmed the District Court's grant of summary judgment in a civil rights case brought by a Philadelphia activist against police officers and the city. The court held that the plaintiff failed to demonstrate personal involvement by the defendants in his arrest or any violation of his First Amendment rights.
The Second Circuit vacated a default judgment against a corrections officer, ruling that the district court abused its discretion by awarding damages while dismissing identical claims against co-defendants for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Applying the prohibition on inconsistent judgments, the court held that a plaintiff cannot prevail against a defaulting defendant when the same legal bar precludes the claims against litigating co-defendants.
