Description
This is an appeal from a pretrial order by the district court approving settlement with some but not all defendants in a securities action. The class action consists of cases consolidated as In re Kaypro Shareholders Securities Litigation, No. 84-2091-N(I). The plaintiff class includes all persons, except defendants, who acquired common stock of Kaypro Corporation between August 25, 1983 and July 17, 1984. The defendants are Kaypro Corporation, eight of its officers and directors, Peat Marwick Main & Company, and Prudential-Bache Securities, Inc., named in its corporate capacity and as the representative of a class of underwriters. Because substantial legal rights of Prudential-Bache and Peat Marwick are affected by the district courts order, they have standing to appeal. Waller v. Financial Corp. of America, 828 F.2d 579, 583 (9th Cir. 1987). We have jurisdiction pursuant to rule 54(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and we affirm in part and remand in part.
