Feesers, Inc. v. Michael Foods, Inc., No. 09-2548

In a suit for unlawful price discrimination under the Robinson-Patman Act (RPA) against a food manufacturer and a food service management company, judgment in favor of plaintiff-food distributor is vacated with instruction for the district court to enter judgment as a matter of law for defendants as plaintiff cannot satisfy the competitive injury requirement of a prima facie case of price discrimination under section 2(a) of the RPA because the plaintiff and defendant were not competitors, and therefore, plaintiff cannot show it suffered competitive injury under RPA.
