J. Davila allows antitrust claims to continue against the WWE after a minor league wresting company says the company is unfairly restricting their business by blocking them from certain venues and deals, as well as threatening their performers that they will never be hired by the WWE if they ever work for the minor league company. At this early stage, it's plausible the WWE has engaged in unlawful exclusionary conduct that not only has harmed competitors, but consumers as well. All the claims may proceed.

Coughenour declines to fully dismiss the consumers' class action alleging Amazon entered into an agreement with Apple to only allow Apple-authorized sellers to sell Apple products on Amazon's marketplace, forcing consumers to spend more on Apple's products.

J. Gonzales mostly declines to dismiss for failure to state a claim a convoluted lawsuit centered around credit default swap auctions, a type of financial agreement in which the seller agrees to pay the buyer in the event of a corporate or municipal default on bonds. A group of “quasi-state funds” sued several parties involved in these arrangements, arguing they had “conspired to manipulate” these auctions “in an anticompetitive manner,” whereas those parties argued the case should be dismissed for a variety of reasons, including a lack of standing and the statute of limitations. While some of those parties can be dismissed from this case because they’ve shown that this court lacks jurisdiction over them, the case overall can proceed.

J. Caproni finds for the London silver dealers who set the daily price of silver bullion at a Walrasian auction in an antitrust suit. The investors do not account at all for the
presence of extraneous market forces, and therefore cannot prove that defendant's alleged manipulation of the silver market artificially depressed silver prices at the time of the investors' trades.
