Justice
Consents to Proposed Termination of Linen Judgment
The Department of Justice,
Antitrust Division, filed a stipulation and memorandum in U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York which, if
approved by the Court, would terminate the Final Judgment. General
Linen Supply & Laundry Co., Inc., Cascade Linen Supply Corp.
of N.J., and NUS, Inc., as successor by acquisition of substantial
assets of each of three other defendants in U.S. v. Linen Supply
Institute of Greater New York. Inc.. et al., Civ. No. 99-387 S.D.N.Y..
filed a motion to terminate the Final Judgment in this case. The
Department, in a stipulation also filed with the Court, has consented
to termination of the Final Judgment, but has reserved the right
to withdraw its consent for at least seventy (70) days after publication.
In its papers, the Department indicated that the judgment should
be terminated because its continuation no longer serves the public
interest.
