In Mississippi Hotel & Lodging Association v. Mississippi Gulf Coast Golf Course Association et al., Southern District of Mississippi Judge Halil Suleyman Ozerden has refused to dismiss a Mississippi hotel group’s claim against a local golf association alleging that the association sought to monopolize the golf package and hotel market by deterring hotels from participating in the MHLA’s golf voucher program and by running their own competing program. The Court gave the association a chance to revise its complaint to show that there was at least some element of interstate commerce, either that the transactions in question were in interstate commerce or the interstate flow of goods were affected, which is a required element in both allegations alleged in the suit.
