Before FLAUM, Chief Judge, and KANNE and WOOD, Circuit Judges.


FLAUM, Chief Judge.

Plaintiff-Appellant Jay Reifert claims that the defendants violated the Sherman Act by tying access to a real estate multi-listing service ("MLS") to membership in a Realtors Association.

For the following reasons, we now affirm the judgment of the district court.
