Dealer Computer Serv. Inc. v. Dub Herring Ford, 09-1848, concerned a challenge to the district court's dismissal of plaintiff's motion to confirm an arbitration panel's interim award denying class arbitration for lack of jurisdiction, in a breach of contract suit between some 2,470 car dealerships across the country and a provider of computer hardware and software support.  In affirming, the court held that the plaintiff has failed to demonstrate that it is subject to cognizable hardship if immediate judicial review of the interim award is denied.
