MARRESE V. AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS
726 F.2d 1150 (7th Cir. 1984); reversed on other grounds 470 U.S. 373 (1985)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an appeal from an order of contempt for the failure to comply
with a discovery order.
FACTS: Marrese (P) was denied membership in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
(D). P sued in state court and his complaint was dismissed for a failure to specify a valid
state-law claim. P filed a federal antitrust action. P sought to examine D's membership
files to ascertain whom to depose. P demanded that D produce all documents relating to
denials of memberships between 1970-1980. Those files contained confidential information.
The district court ordered the production of the files along with a protective order for P
to keep the information confidential. D refused to produce the files and was held in
contempt and fined. D appealed the order of contempt.
