Scheeringa v. McGuire

BEAM, Circuit Judge.

Objector-Appellant S. Michael Scheeringa challenges the district court’s order requiring UnitedHealth Group, Inc., (United-Health) to reimburse derivative counsel for online-research expenses that counsel incurred while litigating a shareholder-derivative suit that ended in a large recovery pursuant to a settlement agreement. In response, Appellees filed a motion to dismiss Scheeringa’s appeal, arguing that he lacks standing under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 3(c) to pursue this appeal. We grant Appellees’ motion and dismiss Scheeringa’s appeal.
