The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to wade into four-year-old antitrust litigation targeting major players in the nationwide dairy industry, rebuffing claims that a California federal judge improperly certified the massive case as a class action.
The high court denied a petition for certiorari filed by Eimer Stahl’s Nathan Eimer, who represents defendant Land O’Lakes Inc. along with lawyers at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. Defendants Dairy Farmers of America Inc. (represented by Williams & Connolly), the National Milk Producers Federation (Steptoe & Johnson), Dairylea Cooperative Inc. (Bond Schoeneck & King) and Agri-Mark Inc. (Shipman & Goodwin) also joined the petition, seeking to derail class allegations that they conspired to drive up the price of milk.
