United States First Circuit
Puerto Rico Dairy Farmers Association v. Comas Pagan, 13-2412
The district court's approval of a comprehensive Settlement Agreement regarding litigation over the regulation of Puerto Rico's milk industry is affirmed, where: 1) the intervenor Puerto Rico Dairy Farmers Association (PRDFA) had an adequate hearing to air its grievances while the Agreement was stayed from going into effect; 2) the district court held that PRDFA remains free to challenge in its still-pending companion case the constitutionality of the Agreement as implemented, so PRDFA's due process arguments fail; and 3) there was no abuse of discretion in the district court's approval of the Agreement.
