AT&T Mobility, LLC v. Shorts
| Close Date: |
06/22/2009 |
| Status: |
closed |
| Citation: |
552 F.3d 327 |
| Docket: |
08-1156 |
| Description: |
Class Actions
The question presented is whether a counterclaim defendant may remove a class action to federal court under the Class Action Fairness Act, which provides that a qualified class action may be removed by "any defendant." The Fourth Circuit had held that a counterclaim defendant may not remove the class action.
Brian Wolfman of Public Citizen assisted the respondent at the cert stage, and the Supreme Court denied cert. |
