The following excerpt is from Wileman Bros. & Elliott, Inc. v. Giannini, 909 F.2d 332 (9th Cir. 1990):
Courts explicitly considering the issue have disagreed on whether orders fall within the immunity provision. Compare In re Midwest Milk Monopolization Litig., 380 F.Supp. 880, 885-86 (W.D.Mo.1974) ("untenable" to extend 608b to orders) with Berning v. Gooding, 643 F.Supp. 26, 29 (D.Or.1985) ("Berning I ") (order based on committee recommendation resembles agreement), aff'd on other grounds, 820 F.2d 1550 (9th Cir.1987) ("Berning II"). The court assumes without deciding that Borden correctly states the law.
