American Lawyer Media is carrying this story about Judge Alsup's (N.D. Cal.) dissatisfaction with the performance of plaintiffs counsel in a class action. Judge Alsup conditionally certified the class but said that he wanted to see a different set of lawyers as lead counsel.
If you've seen what plaintiffs lawyers and defense lawyers say about each other, that's nothing compared to what plaintiffs lawyers say about other plaintiffs lawyers. So this ruling could "leave a mark" as the dissed firms seek lead counsel status in the future.
