Description
STEPHENSON, Circuit Judge The issue before the court on this appeal is whether the trial court1 abused its discretion in refusing to disqualify the law firm of Pressman and Hartunian from further representation of the plaintiff, Sentry Food Stores, Inc. (Sentry), in a civil antitrust action because two members of the law firm had previously worked for the government in a closely related case. We affirm. On April 11, 1972, the law firm of Pressman and Hartunian filed suit on behalf of Sentry seeking treble damages and injunctive relief for alleged violations of antitrust laws by Associated Milk Producers, Inc. (AMPI), Central Milk Producers, Inc. (CMPC), Central Milk Sales Agency (CMSA), Associated Reserve Standby Pool Cooperative (ARSPC), Associated Milk Dealers, Inc. (AMDI), and certain of their officers and directors. Sentry Food Stores, Inc. v. AMPI, No. 72-C 888 (N.D.Ill., filed April 11, 1972). Sentry alleged that the defendants combined and conspired with other unnamed coconspirators to fix prices and monopolize milk marketing in the Chicago regional marketing area in violation of sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. §Â§ 1, 2.
