PROCEDURAL HISTORY On November 2, 2016, the United States filed a civil antitrust Complaint alleging that DIRECTV acted as the ringleader of a series of unlawful information exchanges between DIRECTV and three of its competitors— Cox Communications, Inc., Charter Communications, Inc. and AT&T (prior to its acquisition of DIRECTV)—during the companies’ parallel negotiations to carry SportsNet LA, which holds the exclusive rights to telecast almost all live Dodgers games in the Los Angeles area. The Complaint alleges that DIRECTV unlawfully exchanged competitively sensitive information with Cox, Charter and AT&T during the companies’ negotiations for the right to telecast SportsNet LA (the ‘‘Dodgers Channel’’). In 2015, Defendant AT&T acquired DIRECTV, and AT&T was included as a defendant in this action as DIRECTV’s successor in interest. The United States and Defendants subsequently reached a settlement and, on March 23, 2017, the United States filed a Stipulation and Order and proposed Final Judgment (ECF Nos. 31 E:\FR\FM\25AUN1.SGM 25AUN1
