An opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit was swiftly vacated two business days after it was issued November 29.

Judge Julio Fuentes had written the opinion, issued as not precedential, on behalf of a three-judge panel. Unbeknownst to Fuentes, his daughter, Karina Fuentes, a lawyer in the New Jersey Public Defender’s Office, had worked on the appellant’s brief.
