Milk Monopolization Case to Move Forward

Vermont District Court Judge Christina Reiss refused to dismiss attempted monopolization claims filed by dairy farmers against the Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. and Dean Foods Co.  Although questions remained about the product market and whether the statute of limitations was met, the court found the allegations sufficient to move forward.  The court did dismiss conspiracy claims on the ground that the complaint failed to allege that the defendants were sufficient separate entities to form an agreement under Section 1 of the Sherman Act.
