   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3758
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Genetically Modified Rice Litigation. The district court 
   properly considered the factors involved in granting Rule 54(b) 
   certification, including whether the district court and the plaintiffs 
   would suffer injustice if entry of final judgment were delayed and the 
   possible res judicata effect of a final judgment in state litigation, and 
   did nor err in certifying the dismissal of Riceland's counterclaim as a 
   final judgment under Rule 54(b); turning to the merits, the district court 
   did not err in dismissing Riceland's counterclaim.
