Does a three-judge panel have authority to overturn the decision of Far West?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Battista et al v. Fed. Deposit Ins. Corp., 195 F.3d 1113 (9th Cir. 1999):
The employees also argue that Far West was wrongly decided. That contention, however, fails because a three-judge panel does not have the authority to overturn the decision of a prior panel. See Branch v. Tunnell, 14 F.3d 449, 456 (9th Cir. 1994).9
