1Opinion of the Court
BARNES, Circuit Judge:
This appeal comes before us under cir-tification of the district court that a controlling question of law is involved as to which there is a substantial ground for difference of opinion. As required by statute (28 U.S.C. § 1292(b)), we granted permission to appeal on the question contained in the certificate issued by the district court. That single controlling question, as framed by the district court, is “what rule the federal courts should apply to govern the effect of a general release in a federal antitrust case.” He concluded there was no clear answer, and we agree.
