Hated seeing his name on any of our panels. We already knew he would be against our corporate client.  We had oral argument with him on our panel last October. He didn’t sound too good. But he managed to overturn our denial of class certification. 

May he RIP

RIP. 

He helped make the 9th circuit the most progressive circuit.  It has always been criticized but also followed. It was/is always about 10 years ahead of other circuits.

Agree with Guitarman. His opinion on death with dignity (medically assisted suicide) helped pave the way for state laws allowing citizens to exercise their liberty to choose death when faced with an agonizing death. 

RIP
