Obtained Appellate Reversal That Revived Dismissed Antitrust Case

We Obtained Appellate Reversal of Federal Court Dismissal of Antitrust Claim

We were engaged to appeal a federal district court’s dismissal of an antitrust case brought by another attorney (the legendary Maxwell Blecher, who died at age 84 after the dismissal, but before the appeal). We succeeded in the effort, convincing the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse the dismissal and remand the case to the federal district court in Los Angeles for further proceedings. The case settled on confidential terms after it was reinstated in the federal district court. Case Name: Curtin Maritime Corp. v. Santa Catalina Island Co. (9th Cir. 2018, Case No. 18-55338).
