164086P.pdf 06/22/2018 Mario Ortiz v. Ferrellgas Partners
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-4086
and No: 16-4164
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] Benton, Author, with Loken and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Antitrust. For the court's prior opinion in the matter, see
In re Pre-Filled Propane Tank Antitrust Litig., 860 F.3d 1059 (8th Cir.
2017)(en banc), cert. denied, 138 S.Ct. 647 (2018). The district court did
not err in finding the Ortiz and Orr classes of indirect purchasers lacked
standing to pursue their claims for injunctive relief; the indirect
purchasers cannot pursue disgorgement as the grant of the remedy would
circumvent the Supreme Court's ruling in Illinois Brick Co. v. Illinois,
431 U.S. 720 (1977); the indirect purchasers' state-law-damage claims are
remanded for further consideration on the issue of timeliness in light of
this court's en banc decision.
