  • dismissing, with opportunity to amend, plaintiffs' unjust enrichment claims which did not identify the states under whose laws they brought their claims
  • alleging a nationwide price fixing scheme that resulted in price increases in Nevada and elsewhere sufficiently alleged intrastate effects

  • permitting “[a] period of discovery [to] enable plaintiffs to develop the lineaments of [defendants’] relationships with the U.S. market” after plaintiffs had “adduced sufficient evidence to warrant jurisdictional discovery against the Rule 12(b)(2) defendants.”
