By Nate Raymond NEW YORK (Reuters) – Apple Inc lost a bid on Monday to block an antitrust monitor appointed after a judge found that the company had conspired to fix e-book prices. At a hearing, U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan denied Apples request to stay an order requiring an external compliance monitor pending the companys appeal. I want the monitorship to succeed for Apple, she said. The judge also said there was nothing improper about a declaration filed by a lawyer chosen to serve as monitor, Michael Bromwich, that became the basis of Apple seeking his disqualification.
