## Opinion text

SEITZ, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I join in the prophecy of the majority that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court would not adopt the close-connection doctrine.
I join with the majority in affirming the conclusion of the district court that Kutner Buick accepted the cashier’s check as a holder in due course. I write separately to emphasize that I so conclude only because, as an appellate judge, I am constrained to agree that the district court’s factual findings are not clearly erroneous within the meaning of F.R.Civ.P. 52(a).
