Text: 1 C.H. Robinson Company (CHR) appeals from the district court's order of November 7, 1997, denying its motion to exclude certain suppliers of perishable agricultural commodities (produce) from the universe of unpaid suppliers entitled to recover benefits under the statutory trust created by the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, 7 U.S.C. § 499e(c). CHR intervened in this action filed by Idahoan Fresh (Idahoan) against Advantage Produce, Inc. (Advantage) to enforce the trust and challenged Idahoan's proposed schedule of qualified claimants under the trust. 2 The district court had jurisdiction pursuant to 7 U.S.C. § 499e(c)(5). We have jurisdiction over the district court's interlocutory order denying the exclusion of Idahoan and Alsum Produce, Inc. (Alsum) as qualified beneficiaries pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) as the district court certified the order of November 7, 1997, for immediate appeal and we granted CHR's Petition for Permission to Appeal.
