Petition to Appeal Class Action Settlement Denied Where Court's Order Did Not Satisfy FRCP 23(f) Standard for Appealability: Third Circuit | Practical Law

In In re: National Football League Players Concussion Injury Litigation, the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit denied objecting class members' request to appeal the district court's order preliminarily approving a proposed class-action settlement agreement and conditionally certifying the settlement class because the district court's order was not an "order granting or denying class-action certification" under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (FRCP) 23(c)(1).
