Description
MERRITT, Chief Judge. Plaintiff, Dr. Robert S. Lie, brought an antitrust action against St. Josephs Hospital and the doctors who participated in the staff privileges decision that resulted in suspension of his surgical privileges at St. Josephs Hospital. The question before this Court is whether, in order to make out a case under section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1, a plaintiff must show that the defendant has market power in order to show an unreasonable restraint of trade. District Judge Friedman gave summary judgment to the defendants, finding that the plaintiff had shown no genuine issue for trial in the absence of any showing of market power or adverse effects on competition. See Celotex v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 324, 91 L. Ed. 2d 265, 106 S. Ct. 2548 (1986). For the reasons set out below, we affirm the judgment of the District Court.
