After a fleeting experiment with increasing 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals en banc panels from 11 to 15 judges, the court has axed the bigger panels by reverting to the 11-judge reviews before the end of the planned two-year test.

Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., proposed it as a means of appeasing conservatives bent on splitting the circuit.
