Litigation Partner Buzz Frahn and Litigation Associates Marissa Lambert and Sarah Brim co-wrote an article published on the California Lawyers Association’s website. The article, titled “Application Denied: The District of Oregon Denies The Common Application, Inc.’s Motion to Dismiss after Reversal by the Ninth Circuit,” discusses the District Court for the District of Oregon’s denial of The Common Application, Inc.’s motions to dismiss and transfer the antitrust suit against it to the Eastern District of Virginia. Judge Marco A. Hernandez held that CollegeNET, Inc., a competitor of the Common App, plausibly alleged seven antitrust claims for relief, and the Common App failed to demonstrate that any factors outweighed the “great weight accorded to Plaintiff’s choice of forum.” Judge Hernandez’s decision, on remand from the Ninth Circuit, reversed his previous dismissal of CollegeNET’s complaint for failure to plead facts sufficient to allege antitrust injury.
