1Opinion of the Court
GARTH, Circuit Judge.
These seven appeals have been filed by counsel to various claimants in the Diet Drugs Product Liability Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL 1203”), charging essentially that the District Court abused its discretion in awarding and allocating an interim award of attorneys’ fees.
