Apples efforts to remove an antitrust compliance monitor following last years ebooks trial hit another road block today, this time one that appears more permanent. In an opinion, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied an Apple motion to remove Michael Bromwich, a court-appointed monitor tasked with keeping the company within the bounds of antitrust laws following its loss to the Justice Department over ebooks price-fixing last year. In an order, the court said Apple hadnt demonstrated that it is entitled to a halt of Bromwichs activities, a decision that lands in favor of the Justice Department. Apple has attempted to oust Bromwich since the end of last year, while the former assistant US attorney and Justice Department inspector argued that the company shut him out of speaking with board members and executives, tasks he argued were a key to his job.
