SAN FRANCISCO — U.S. District Judge William Alsup didn’t take kindly to a request for a preliminary injunction filed by lawyers for small Florida retailers who are pursuing antitrust claims against credit card companies and large banks.
Alsup on Thursday denied the plaintiffs’ request for a nationwide ban on a shift in liability for fraudulent credit card transactions to merchants just days after it hit his docket. Alsup wrote that the motion filed by lawyers at Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd and Florida-based Devine Goodman Rasco & Watts-FitzGerald was “so deficient that it would be a monumental waste of resources to require the eighteen defendants to respond and oppose the motion.”
