Before: McLAUGHLIN, KATZMANN, and RAGGI, Circuit Judges.
Plaintiffs-appellants are licensed physicians who practice or had practiced emergency medicine throughout the United States although they did not complete formal residency training programs in that specialty.They allege that the defendants, the American Board of Emergency Medicine("ABEM"), the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors("CORD"), twenty-eight named hospitals, and various individuals now or previously associated with these institutions and organizations, colluded to restrain trade in connection with the practice of emergency medicine in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, see15 U.S.C. § 1, and to monopolize or attempt to monopolize the market for ABEM-certified and -eligible doctors in violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act, seeid.§ 2.Plaintiffs specifically complain that the defendants manipulated the residency training requirement for ABEM certification to limit the number of doctors certified in emergency medicine in order to guarantee super-competitive compensation for such doctors and to deny certification and its attendant compensation benefits to members of the plaintiff class.
Plaintiffs now appeal a judgment of the United States District Court for the Western District of New York(Richard J. Arcara, Judge;Leslie G. Foschio, Magistrate Judge), entered on June 20, 2003, dismissing their Second Amended Complaint for lack of antitrust standing.SeeDaniel v. American Bd. of Emergency Med.,269 F.Supp.2d 159(W.D.N.Y.2003).Defendants insist that the case was properly dismissed not only for lack of antitrust standing but also for lack of personal jurisdiction and venue in the Western District of New York.We agree with the defendants that the lack of personal jurisdiction and venue supports dismissal.While such a conclusion might permit us to order transfer of this case to a district where personal jurisdiction and venue properly obtain, we conclude that such a transfer is not in the interests of justice in this case because the plaintiffs lack antitrust standing to pursue their claims....
