Global Tel-Link Opening Brief Due March 6 in Appeal of Antitrust Ruling

Appellant Global Tel-Link’s opening brief is due March 6 in its appeal of a lower court’s antitrust ruling in Smart Communications’ favor, said a briefing and scheduling order Tuesday (docket 22-3287) in the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Smart alleges competitor GTL colluded with York County, Pennsylvania, prison authorities in an unlawful "exclusive dealing" arrangement when Smart tried to replace GTL as the prison's inmate calling services vendor (see 2212070047).
