Eagle US 2 LLC v. Abraham

Petition for certiorari denied on May 16, 2016

Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
15-1135 5th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2015

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."
