Seventh Circuit Denies Motorola Mobility’s Petition for En Banc Hearing

January 13, 2015 by Robert Connolly

On January 12, 2015 the Seventh Circuit denied Motorola Mobility’s request for an en banc hearing.  The text of the order is:

On December 17, 2014, plaintiff‐appellant filed a petition for rehearing en banc. All the judges on the original panel have voted to deny the petition, and none of the active judges has requested a vote on the petition for rehearing en banc.*  The petition is therefore DENIED.

* Circuit Judge Joel M. Flaum did not participate in the consideration of this petition for rehearing.

The US Supreme Court has called cartels "the supreme evil of antitrust." Price fixing and bid rigging may not be all that evil as far as supreme evils go, but an individual can get 10 years in jail and corporations can be fined hundreds of millions of dollars. This blog will provide news, insight and analysis of the world of cartels based on the many years my colleagues and I have as former feds with the Antitrust Division, USDOJ.
