Sightline Payments ("Sightline") seeks to reverse a district court decision it claims allows Global Cash Access (“GCA”) to continue with alleged violations of antitrust laws by filing an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on August 13th 2010 (case 10-16790).
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) August 31, 2010
Sightline Payments ("Sightline") seeks to reverse a district court decision it claims allows Global Cash Access (“GCA”) to continue with alleged violations of antitrust laws by filing an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on August 13th 2010 (Case 10-16790). Sightline has accused GCA of violating federal antitrust laws by deliberately engaging in a pattern of anti-competitive and monopolistic acts and practices through acquisitions, tie-ins, and other exclusionary conduct.
"GCA's recent press release characterized the case as frivolous based on the lower court ruling, however, we believe the order dismissing the case missed a number material points and authorities that were raised in our pleadings," said Kirk Sanford Sightline Payments CEO. "Maxwell Blecher has successfully tried countless antitrust cases and his qualifications and strong interest in taking over this case further reinforces our belief the district court erred in dismissing our claims against GCA and that the appellate court will overturn this decision."
"The District Court's decision to dismiss this case without leave to amend is a highly unusual decision," said Maxwell Blecher. "We expect to show in the appeal that the order dismissing the case was erroneous."
