           ARIZONA v. COUNTRYWIDE FINANCIAL CORP.            109
GOULD, Circuit Judge, dissenting:

   I dissent and would grant reconsideration and would permit
appeal. We have decisions in different district courts in
Nevada and Arizona going in opposite directions on the same
or very similar issues. Although we have permitted appeal in
Nevada v. Bank of America Corp., No. 11-80165, there are
ways in which that decision might be resolved without clari-
fying the legal points concerning application of the Class
Action Fairness Act to parens patriae actions in which an
attorney general seeks restitution for state citizens, on which
our district courts are divided. In my view, if there is one
thing we should readily do as a circuit, it is to take steps to
eliminate intra-circuit conflicts in our district courts. A state
attorney general should face the same law and orientation of
a district court in each of the states within our circuit. To my
thinking, it just doesn’t make sense to leave the attorney gen-
erals of the various states at sea when we could easily sim-
plify and clarify matters by permitting appeal in both this
decision coming from Arizona and the related case in Nevada
on which we are allowing an appeal. A panel hearing both
appeals on an expedited basis could provide an opinion that
would set uniform law within our circuit. I regret that our
panel here passes on that opportunity.
