Task: songer_majvotes

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the number of judges who voted in favor of the disposition favored by the majority. Judges who concurred in the outcome but wrote a separate concurring opinion are counted as part of the majority. For most cases this variable takes the value "2" or "3." However, for cases decided en banc the value may be as high as 15. Note: in the typical case, a list of the judges who heard the case is printed immediately before the opinion. If there is no indication that any of the judges dissented and no indication that one or more of the judges did not participate in the final decision, then all of the judges listed as participating in the decision are assumed to have cast votes with the majority. The number of majority votes recorded includes district judges or other judges sitting by designation who participated on the appeals court panel. If there is an indication that a judge heard argument in the case but did not participate in the final opinion (e.g., the judge died before the decision was reached), that judge is not counted in the number of majority votes.

PER CURIAM.
We are informed that the parties have reached agreement as to the meaning of the arbitrator’s award and its resubmission to the arbitrator for resolution of ambiguities pursuant to the district court’s order is no longer necessary or contemplated. Thus the arbitral process has apparently run its course. We dissolve the injunction and remand this case to the district court for further consideration in light of this development. See Duke Power Co. v. Greenwood Co., 299 U.S. 259, 267-268, 57 S.Ct. 202, 81 L.Ed. 178 (1936); Patterson v. Alabama, 294 U.S. 600, 607, 55 S.Ct. 575, 79 L.Ed. 1082 (1935).
We intímate no opinion as to the propriety of injunctive relief at a time when it had become clear by virtue of the award’s remand for clarification that the arbitral process had not yet run its course. However, under the parties’ collective bargaining agreement the union’s implicit obligation not to strike was at least suspended by Narragansett’s failure to abide by the arbitrator’s award. It appears to us that in continuing to challenge the award after it had been confirmed by the district court, Narragansett brought into play the contractual language dealing with the situation where one party “fails to abide” by a decision. Hence we have difficulty in seeing how the strike in question could have contravened the union’s no-strike obligation, and we suggest Narragansett address this question before the court on remand.
Vacated and remanded for further proceedings.
