SHWARTZ, Circuit Judge:

ORDER AMENDING OPINION

IT IS ORDERED, that the published Opinion in the above case, filed on July 28,

2020, be amended as follows:

On page 11, footnote 9:

Reckitt argues that the lawfulness of pricing conduct renders class certification

improper. Regardless, in this case, the allegedly unlawful nonpricing conduct could be

established via common evidence and thus satisfy the commonality requirement.

The amendment does not change the date of filing, July 28, 2020.

By the Court,

s/Patty Shwartz

Circuit Judge
