Havens v. Mobex Network Svcs — civil / telecommunications — affirmance — Roth

The Third Circuit today affirmed district court rulings for the defense in a dispute over maritime telecommunications licenses. The court upheld dismissal of the plaintiffs’ claims under the Federal Communications Act and entry of judgment on their Sherman Act claim.

Joining Roth was Fuentes; Sloviter had been on the panel and heard oral argument but assumed inactive status before the opinion issued and so the opinion was filed by panel quorum. Arguing counsel were Stephen Hudspeth for the appellants and Robert Mauriello Jr. for the appellees.
