Issue: Whether a plaintiff who purchases directly from a member of a price-fixing conspiracy is necessarily a "direct purchaser" under Illinois Brick Co. v. Illinois(as the Third and Seventh Circuits have held), or whether instead the plaintiff must show that the conspirators agreed to set the specific price the plaintiff paid and not merely that the conspiracy inflated that price by anticompetitive means (as the Ninth Circuit held below).
