The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit reversed the district court's denial of class certification in a dispute over oil and gas royalty payments. The appellate court held that the proposed class was ascertainable under updated standards and that common questions of law predominated over individual issues.
The Eighth Circuit affirmed a district court dismissal of a breach of contract claim brought by an insurance company. The court held that the insurer's settlement response was a counteroffer rather than a mirror-image acceptance, preventing a meeting of the minds under Missouri law.
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal of antitrust and state law claims brought by artificial turf manufacturers against their suppliers. The court held that the plaintiffs failed to plausibly allege monopoly power in a relevant market and did not meet the notice requirements for breach of warranty claims.
The Third Circuit affirmed the District Court's dismissal of Antoine Poteat's initial Rule 60(b) motions as moot. The appellate court found no abuse of discretion in treating the original motions as superseded by a subsequently filed amended motion that incorporated their arguments.

The Sixth Circuit affirmed a district court order compelling arbitration and confirming an arbitration award in a nursing home death dispute. The court held that the estate's executor validly signed the arbitration agreement under Kentucky law and that the arbitrator did not exceed his powers.
