United States Ninth Circuit

In plaintiffs' class action suit on behalf of a nationwide class of raw milk producers seeking monetary and injunctive relief under state law arising from the misreporting of pricing data to the USDA, district court's dismissal is reversed and remanded, as although the district court properly determined that the filed rate doctrine applies to the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 (AMAA) minimum milk pricing program, it erred by concluding that the doctrine applies to bar the plaintiffs' state law claims in this case.
