United States First Circuit
Vaqueria Tres Monjitas, Inc. v. Comas-Pagan, 13-2517
In an appeal brought by the Commonwealth's milk regulatory agency (ORIL) from the district court's order approving a comprehensive Settlement Agreement regarding litigation over the regulation of Puerto Rico's milk industry, where ORIL objects to the district court's language that Puerto Rico had waived its Eleventh Amendment immunity by entering into the Settlement Agreement: 1) the matter is remanded, where the language at issue is merely a statement of dicta and not a judgment, but it is suggested that the district court amend the order; and 2) the appeal is otherwise dismissed for want of appellate jurisdiction.
