Issue: Whether, when a state attorney general claims parens patriae authority and sues out-of-state defendants on behalf of private individuals under a state statute which requires that any recovery go to those individuals rather than the state, the defendants may remove the case as a "class action" under the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005, 28 U.S.C. §" 1332(d), 1453 (CAFA) on the ground that such private individuals are real parties in interest.
