Once again, a federal judge in Philadelphia has clipped the wings of some of the country's largest egg producers hoping to hatch their way out of multidistrict class action litigation over alleged price-fixing for eggs and egg products.

With just a month left before MBIA goes to trial over its controversial 2009 restructuring, the number of financial institutions suing the troubled monoline insurer has dwindled even further.
