District Court, N.D. Illinois May 24, 1988, MDL-250 (In Re Folding Carton Antitrust Litigation)

*1224

MEMORANDUM OPINION

WILL, District Judge.

This multi-district case arose out of massive criminal and civil antitrust litigation involving a nationwide price-fixing conspiracy among manufacturers of folding cartons in violation of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1. In September 1979, the parties and the court approved what was then the largest antitrust class action settlement in history.
