142561P.pdf   08/13/2015  Insulate SB, Inc.  v.  Advanced Finishing Systems
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-2561
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Murphy and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Antitrust. Indirect purchasers may bring an antitrust claim 
   if they alleged the direct purchasers are party to the antitrust violation 
   and join the direct purchasers as defendants; however, plaintiff has 
   failed to state a claim as it has failed to plead that Graco entered into 
   explicit exclusivity agreements with any of its distributors; nor had 
   plaintiff sufficiently pleaded the existence of a conspiracy or agreement 
   to take concerted action; claims under Minnesota and California state 
   antitrust laws were properly dismissed for failure to state a claim.
