4. Based upon my review of recent Third Circuit decisions involving temporary
restraining or permanent injunction orders, it appears that any such appeal will take a minimum
of four months and could last as long as nine months (see, e. g., Rogers v. Corbett, 2006
WL24227ll (2006); Scanvec Amiable, Ltd. v. Chang, 80 Fed. Appx. 171 (2004); Ambiance, Inc.
·- v. Municzpality of Monroeville, 66 F ed. Appx. 409 (2003) and Shire UCS, Inc. v. Barr
Laboratories, Inc., 329 F.3d 348 (2003). Thus, it would appear that on average the appellate
review process takes between six and seven months.
