United States Eleventh Circuit
Danner Const. Co. v. Hillsborough Cty. Fla., 09-13951
In an antitrust action concerning Hillsborough County, Florida's establishment of a franchise system for waste collection, the district court's denial of defendants' motion to dismiss on state action immunity grounds is reversed where, even if the Sherman Act preempted a state practice, if it was undertaken by state actors pursuant to an expressed anticompetitive state policy, then those actors were immune from liability.
