Cordis Corp. v. Dunson
Petition for certiorari denied on November 27, 2017
Issue: Whether it is a removable "mass action" under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(11) when hundreds of plaintiffs from around the country file cases in a single state court, and propose to consolidate those cases for legal and evidentiary rulings, and bell weather trials that may bind defendants through issue preclusion; or whether the defendants' right to remove can be defeated by plaintiffs simply electing not themselves to be so bound.
