A $10,000 "side bet" wasn't enough to persuade a Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals en banc panel to answer whether federal courts have jurisdiction over out-of-state Internet retailers. Maine-based L.L. Bean Inc. and Gator.com Corp. of Redwood City, settled last summer. But both sides asked the court to keep the issue alive and included a provision in their confidential settlement agreement that Gator.com would pay L.L. Bean $10,000 more if the panel decided in favor of the well-known retailer.

A $10,000 “side bet” wasn’t enough to persuade a Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals en banc panel to answer whether federal courts have jurisdiction over out-of-state Internet retailers.
In an 8-3 decision Tuesday, judges decided the issue was moot because the parties, Maine-based L.L. Bean Inc. and Gator.com Corp. of Redwood City, settled after last summer’s oral argument. Gator.com agreed to pay L.L. Bean, but the amount remained under seal at the Ninth Circuit.
