Godfrey v. Pulitzer Publishing Company

United States Court of Appeals for the eighth circuit Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Submitted: June 11, 1998 Appellants brought an action pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Robinson-Patman Price Discrimination Act (""the Act""), 15 U.S.C. § 13(a) (1994), claiming that Pulitzer Publishing Company (""Pulitzer"") engaged in illegal discriminatory sales of the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper (""the Post Dispatch""). On Pulitzer's motion, the district court dismissed the action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1). Because we conclude the district court erred in its jurisdictional analysis, we reverse and remand.
