Eagle US 2 LLC v. Abraham
Petition for certiorari denied on May 16, 2016
Issue: (1) Whether the district court’s application of a presumption against removal in Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) cases in direct defiance of a decision of this Court can be allowed to go uncorrected; (2) whether these “Louisiana cumulation” complaints comprise an action “similar” to a “class action” under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(1)(B); and (3) whether the Fifth Circuit also erred by rejecting Eagle’s argument in the alternative that the purportedly separate complaints qualified as a CAFA “mass action” under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(11)(B)(i) because those complaints together included “100 or more persons.”
