Bash v. Firstmark Standard Life Insurance Co‪.‬

Before Hon. RICHARD A. POSNER, Circuit Judge, Hon. JOEL M. FLAUM, Circuit Judge, Hon. DANIEL A. MANION, Circuit Judge ON PETITION FOR REHEARING The petition is denied, but we take this opportunity to note case authority, not brought to our attention by the parties to this case, that an unnamed class member has no right to appeal from the final judgment in the class action, unless he has intervened. See Guthrie v. Evans, 815 F.2d 626 (11th Cir. 1987); Shores v. Sklar, 844 F.2d 1485, 1491 (11th Cir. 1988); Walker v. City of Mesquite, No. 87-1123 (5th Cir. Oct. 31, 1988). The application of the principle of these cases would have no practical consequences in the present case, and we therefore shall not offer an opinion on the merit of the principle.
