Supreme Court sends antitrust case to lower Appeals Court
September 26, 2000: 11:29 a.m. ET
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - The United States Supreme Court declined the government's request to hear Microsoft's appeal of the federal and state antitrust case against the company Tuesday, instead sending it to a lower court.
The decision is seen as a procedural win for Microsoft, since the U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled in the Redmond, Wash.-based software maker's favor in prior antitrust matters with the government. However, the circumstances in those appearances before the Appeals Court were different than in the current sweeping antitrust case against Microsoft. ---------------------CUT--------------------
