   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-2357
                          and No:  06-2746
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, Hansen and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The Act does not
   create a private right of action for claims by a class representative against
   class counsel; in order to prevail on a claim that class counsel breached a
   fiduciary duty to him, plaintiff must show that the misconduct he alleges
   was the proximate cause of his injury, and he could not do so in light of
   prior court rulings approving the settlement, over his objections, on the
   grounds that it was fair, adequate and reasonable; issue of adequacy of
   counsel's efforts had already been decided in prior case; defendant 's
   appeal waived the issue that the case should have been transferred to the
   Southern District of New York; court lacked jurisdiction to review an
   advisory opinion given by the district court in a closed case.
