153089P.pdf 03/01/2017 Colella's Super Market, Inc. v. SuperValu, Inc.
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-3089
and No: 15-3174
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Antitrust. For the court's prior opinions concerning the
proper classes see King Cole Foods, Inc. v. SuperValu, Inc, 707 F.3d 917
(8th Cir. 2013) and D&G, Inc. v. SuperValu, Inc. 752 F.3d 728 (8th Cir.
2014). On remand, the district court denied Colella's Super Markets motion
to intervene to join a request to certify a narrower New England class and
announced it would not consider any new definition of a class of New
England plaintiffs; this court has no discretion to hear Village Market's
appeal of the court's announcement that it would refuse to consider
certifying the Greater Boston class as an order that leaves class-action
status unchanged from what was determined by a prior order is not an order
"granting or denying class certification" for purposes of an interlocutory
appeal under Rule 23(f); the district court did not abuse its discretion
in denying Colella's motion to intervene as untimely. Judge Colloton,
concurring in the judgment.
