April 27, 2026·24-2210·Panel Decision·By Maria Santos
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit denied a petition for rehearing en banc in a bankruptcy dispute involving the Official Committee of Talc Claimants. The court granted a panel rehearing to allow for amendments to the majority and concurring opinions without altering the final judgment.
Background
The Official Committee of Talc Claimants filed petitions for rehearing in cases involving Whittaker Clark & Daniels Inc. and related entities. The committee sought both a panel rehearing and a rehearing en banc.
The court’s reasoning
The court granted the petition for panel rehearing to address arguments set out by the Committee, resulting in revised majority and concurring opinions. The court denied the petition for rehearing en banc because no judge in regular active service requested it.
What it means going forward
The judgment remains as originally filed, with the case proceeding under the amended opinions that reflect formatting and cross-reference changes.
