OPINION AND ORDER
EDWARD R. BECKER, District Judge.
I
We have before us defendant’s motion to dismiss this antitrust action, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b) for failure to prosecute or comply with orders of court. While we firmly believe that such motions should be granted most sparingly, and in fact,- only in extreme circumstances, we feel that this case is appropriate for dismissal.
The complaint charges the defendant with continuing violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2; Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18; Section 1 of the Robinson-Patman Act,…
