Menendez denies the automaker's subsidiary's motion to dismiss the auto parts distributor's counterclaims in a suit brought by the subsidiary alleging that the distributor was improperly distributing replacement parts. The counterclaims, which allege unfair competition, unjust enrichment and a variety of antitrust violations, survive the subsidiary's arguments that it is "essentially immune from allegations of anticompetitive conduct," that it has not sufficiently alleged a relevant market and that it has not pleaded an actual antitrust injury. The distributor has also adequately stated monopolization and attempted monopolization claims, along with a claim that the subsidiary has unlawfully tied its sale of new cars to dealers to a demand that they only source replacement parts from the subsidiary and a number of state law claims.
