023780P.pdf   12/02/2003  Kevin Kloster  v.  John M. Koehler
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-3780
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil case - Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. District 
   court did not err in determining it had authority to approve a global 
   settlement involving all plaintiff classes notwithstanding the fact that 
   some member of a lead plaintiff group for one of four certified plaintiff 
   classes objected to the settlement; the Private Securities Litigation 
   Reform Act does not contain any guidance as to the weight a district 
   court must give to objections from a fraction of a fractured lead plaintiff 
   group, and the district court did not err in relying on decisions 
   interpreting Rule 23 when it reviewed and approved the settlement.
