Ninth Circuit: No CAFA Removal Where Plaintiffs' Petition for Coordination Did Not Explicitly Request Joint Trial | Practical Law
In a case of first impression, Romo v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that removal was improper because the plaintiffs' petition for coordination under California Code of Civil Procedure section 404 did not constitute a proposal to be tried jointly under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA).
