Tbg Inc. v. Bendis

ANDERSON, Circuit Judge. The appellants, defendants who have not agreed to settle with TBG, Inc., challenge the district court's order approving TBG's
settlements with three other defendants. We do not have jurisdiction to review the court's order approving TBG's settlement
with Robert Mann and John Pappajohn, but we do review the order approving TBG's settlement with Shook, Hardy & Bacon
("Shook"). We vacate that order because the court impermissibly barred the nonsettling defendants' contribution claims against
the settling defendants, as well as independent claims by Bendis against Shook.
