Case Description

Five ob-gyns allocated the operating room time at a hospital. The state alleged that the agreement amounted to a restraint of trade by restricting the ability of new physicians to increase the amount of their operating room time. The five physicians entered into consent decrees requiring defendants to refrain from allocating operating room time on a regular and continuing basis.
