Sterling v. Stewart

Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

Decided October 28, 1998No. 95-8944, 95-8946 and 95-9001PublishedCited by 12 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

GOODWIN, Senior Circuit Judge:

Robert Sterling and other plaintiffs (together “Sterling”) appeal the district court’s approval of a settlement terminating their derivative suit. They object that the district court erred in appointing a receiver, realigning the corporations as plaintiffs, and approving an unfair settlement. The Defendants request, on cross-appeal, that should this court reverse and remand on any issues, that it consider whether the district court erred in not dismissing the plaintiffs as parties and in ruling certain privileged documents admissible. We affirm. 1
