1Opinion of the Court
TACHA, Chief Circuit Judge.
This appeal is the result of certain Utah optometrists’ decade-long effort to become panel providers for the largest managed health care company in the state. In 2001, the optometrists ultimately filed suit against Intermountain Health Care, Inc. (“IHC”) and others, alleging that IHC’s exclusion of optometrists from its network of providers violates §§ 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. The District Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Defendants on all claims. We take jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and AFFIRM.
