Maybe. There doesn't seem to be a dissent on the panel and that will speed it up. And this court acts pretty fast as a rule (unlike the 9th). And that would correspond with the departure of existing clerks and the arrival of new ones. Still, 60 days is fast for any court of appeals to act, so I tend to think that 60 days is doable, but optimistic.
The April '12 session at CA7 concludes sometime after Aug 8th. The September '12 session picks up Sept 5th.

If they intend to get it out within the argued April '12 session, 60 days would be about right. If they don't care about dragging it into the next session, all bets are off!
