How courts have described this case

• holding that local ordinance did not directly discriminate against interstate commerce because it “applies to all manufacturers that make their drugs available in Alameda County— without respect to the geographic location of the manufacturer”
• noting that under Pike, a plaintiff must first show that the statute imposes a substantial burden before the court will determine whether the benefits of the challenged laws are illusory
