Excerpt
I. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT: Complaint Counsel has brought suit against North Texas Specialty Physicians (?NTSP?), a memberless, non-profit corporation. NTSP is the only entity still participating in risk contracts in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Complaint Counsel alleges that NTSP has collectively fixed prices in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act. But Complaint Counsel cannot prove the essential elements of its case, including collusion among physicians, the relevant market, and anticompetitive effects. Instead, Complaint Counsel presents a hodge-podge of assertions about NTSP?s risk contracts, litigation efforts, and contacts with governmental authorities ? none of which supports Complaint Counsel?s case.
