What happened

Action and ruling

The court granted the letter request at Docket Number 280. It then entered final judgment under Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and closed the case.

Reason given

The judgment states that all served defendants had been dismissed and that only unserved defendants remained. Relying on the principle that a final judgment may be entered when there is no basis to expect further adjudications, the court found that immediate entry of final judgment was appropriate.

What the opinion does not establish

The provided judgment refers to a separate court order dated August 17, 2022, but that order is not included. The judgment therefore does not explain the underlying antitrust claims, the reasons the served defendants were dismissed, or the status of the unserved defendants beyond stating that they remained when final judgment was entered.
