JUDGES WEIGH COMBINING US TELECOM SPYING SUITS
[SOURCE: Reuters, AUTHOR: Andrew Stern]

U.S. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Carl Nichols urged the panel to transfer the roughly two-dozen cases filed around the United States to the federal court in Washington, D.C., while a plaintiff's attorney asked to have a San Francisco judge handle the class-action cases.
