"A federal appellate court has upheld a San Antonio judge’s decision to throw out the antitrust lawsuit that independent retailers brought against Blockbuster and the major studios, accusing them of giving the chain preferential pricing.

In June 2002, the U.S. District Court Judge Edward Prado, hearing the case in San Antonio, put a halt to the proceedings after attorneys for the independents finished putting on their case.

He granted Blockbuster and the studios a directed verdict, finding that the independents’ evidence was insufficient to prove their allegations of conspiracy and price discrimination."
