Description
Per Curiam. Plaintiffs-appellants Charles L. Simms and the Woodland Inn, Inc. brought claims for declaratory and injunctive relief under the Sherman Act (15 U.S.C. ?? 1, 2), the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. ?? 15, 26), and 42 U.S.C. ? 1983, alleging that their inability to transfer their existing liquor license under K.R.S. ? 243.230 to a site closer to defendant-appellee Big Johns Tavern, Inc. has created a monopoly in violation of antitrust laws and plaintiffs rights to due process and equal protection. In dismissing plaintiffs claims, the district court held that Kentucky Revised Statutes (K.R.S.) ? 243.230 was a rationally-based exercise of Kentuckys core police powers under the twenty-first amendment to regulate the sale of liquor within its borders and and therefore exempt from antitrust scrutiny. We affirm.
