On May 24, 2011, United States District Court, Central District of California, denied a motion to dismiss allegations of a “price squeeze” implemented through the granting of secret rebates to the plaintiff’s customers, finding that the complaint stated a plausible claim under California Business and Professions Code section 17045. Drawing on “judicial experience and common sense”, District Judge Dean D. Pregerson held that the allegations of the first amended complaint are sufficiently “plausible” on their face to withstand challenges under Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, (2007). Western Pacific Kraft, Inc. v. Duro Bag Manufacturing Company, Case No. CV 10-06017 DDP (SSx), 5/24/11.
