Report on Third Circuit Sullivan argument

Barry Barnett, who either attended the Third Circuit's en banc oral argument on Feb. 23 or listened to the recording (large .wma file), provides a detailed report on his blog, Blawgletter. 

This case involves a nationwide settlement of price-fixing claims against the diamond industry.  Sullivan v. DB Investments, Inc., no. 08-2784 (3d Cir.).  The original three-judge panel reversed the final approval order.  Barry prognosticates that the en banc panel will affirm the final approval order, but may remand for some modifications to the plan of allocation.
