               ORDER AMENDING OPINION

FUENTES, Circuit Judge.

       IT IS NOW ORDERED that on Page 9, the two sentences
in the first paragraph beginning with “One set of plaintiffs was
comprised of...” and ending with “who alleged violations of the
WARN Act and ERISA” be replaced with the following:

      One set of plaintiffs was comprised of two ERISA
      funds, the Teamsters Pension Trust Fund of
      Philadelphia and Vicinity and the Teamsters
      Health and Welfare Fund of Philadelphia and
      Vicinity (“Plaintiff Funds”), which together with
      Teamsters Local 470 (“Employee Plaintiffs”),
      alleged violations of the WARN Act and ERISA.
      A second set of plaintiffs was comprised of a class
      of non-union employees and Local 560 (also
      “Employee Plaintiffs”) who alleged violations of
      the WARN Act and ERISA.

                           3
                          By the Court,

                          /s/ Julio M. Fuentes
                          Circuit Judge
