Broiler blunders: The Tipline for 6 May 2022

The federal Colorado court trying the case also appears to have taken issue with the Antitrust Division's method of asking for a pause. “The government is further advised that, when it seeks relief from the Court, as it does here by requesting a new trial date, it shall do so by motion and not by ‘notice,’” wrote Chief Judge Philip Brimmer earlier this week.
