Description
The plaintiff in this antitrust action, Clamp-All Corporation, sued the Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute ("CISPI") and several of its members, charging that they had unlawfully restrained trade in (or monopolized or attempted to monopolize) the sale of hubless pipe couplings by means of improper pricing, improper behavior in respect to "quality-certification" provided by state and private organizations, and other improper trade practices. 15 U.S.C. §§ 1 & 2 (1982), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) (1982). The district court granted defendants motion for summary judgment on the pricing (and certain other) counts, and, after hearing all the plaintiffs evidence, directed a verdict in defendants favor; the plaintiff appeals. We have examined the lengthy record and conclude that the district court was correct. No reasonable jury could have found facts sufficient to show a violation of the antitrust laws. We therefore affirm the courts judgment.
