United States Third Circuit

In a dispute involving whether Pennsylvania's minimum wholesale prices for fluid milk violate the dormant Commerce Clause of the Constitution, the court leaves the constitutionality of the minimum wholesale prices unresolved and affirms a judgment for the state milk marketing board where plaintiff failed to prove the applicability of heightened scrutiny, and failed to prove that the incidental burdens of Pennsylvania's minimum wholesale milk prices outweighed the putative benefits.
