A hearing scheduled for March 18, 2009, in the Malone v. eBay Inc. antitrust lawsuit has been rescheduled for April 1, 2009, to allow the parties to meet and try and resolve disputes in the ongoing litigation process. The hearing will address eBay's motion for leave to serve additional interrogatories on plaintiff Michael Malone and the plaintiffs' motion for a discovery management plan. eBay had noted in its recent SEC filing that a class certification motion is scheduled for June 2009.
Malone filed his lawsuit in April 2007 and alleged that eBay "utilizes its nationwide monopoly of the on-line auction market to monopolize the available forms of payment that sellers can use on eBay." A second class-action complaint was filed by Ann Farmer and Todd Van Pelt on April 23, 2007, and the two lawsuits were consolidated.
