Lewis v. Verizon Comms., Inc., No. 10-56512
Remand Order in Class Action Vacated
As the court wrote: "This is an appeal under the Class Action Fairness Act ("CAFA"), Pub. L.
No. 109-2, 119 Stat. 4 (2005) (codified in scattered sections of 28 U.S.C.). The Act authorizes the removal of class action lawsuits from state to federal court where the amount in controversy exceeds $5 million, exclusive of interest and costs. 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(2). The issue before us is whether the district court properly remanded the case to state court on the ground that this requirement was not satisfied."
