   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED][Chief Judge Riley, Author, with Beam and Bye, Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - class action settlement. Counsel for retired firefighters
   challenged approval of settlement of class action. District court did not
   abuse its discretion by certifying the class and allowing same counsel to
   represent both active and retired employees and otherwise ensuring fair
   and adequate representation for the entire class by means other than
   appointing separate counsel for each subclass. District court did not
   abuse its discretion in approving settlement and in failing to hold a
   special hearing on the ability of class counsel to represent the subclasses.
