The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled to sit en banc on Wednesday to rehear three significant appeals on the issues of privacy rights in the collection of DNA samples, the entitlement to attorney fees in constitutional rights cases, and whether to approve a $295 million settlement in an antitrust suit alleging price-fixing in the market for diamonds.
The en banc panels listed to hear the cases vary in size. Although the DNA case is set to be argued to a 14-judge panel that includes all of the court’s active judges, the antitrust case has been assigned to be argued before a panel of nine judges due to five recusals, and the attorney fees case is slated to be argued to a 16-judge panel that includes two senior judges from the original three-judge panel.
