That was David and Nina Mandel, after their enormous win today before the 11th Circuit in the Coquina case. Here's the opinion. Congrats to the Mandels on their victory.
I've been posting quite a bit lately on the fact that major opinions are being decided without any active 11th Circuit judges. This is another one, written by Senior Judge Anderson and joined by two visiting judges.
I'm sure that won't put a dent in the well-deserved victory party that the Mandels will be having!

You should write an open letter on this blog to Chief Judge Carnes to vacate his order declaring that an emergency exists and permitting panels to be composed of two visiting judges. That order was based in large or even exclusive part on the Eleventh Circuit's having three vacancies. Since then, Judge Rosenbaum has been appointed, and Judge Julie Carnes has been confirmed (she'll be appointed any day). True, the Eleventh Circuit has many active cases -- and that probably hasn't changed. But you can't claim that an emergency exists forever.
What a great victory for the Mandels! Congrats!
Judge Cooke always gets it right.
Closing argument ruling is a little shaky.
Drinks are on the mandels, forever.
If I did in closing as a crim defense lawyer what the plaintiffs did here. I'd be held in contempt. Just saying...
