Barbara Schwartz v. SCI Funeral Services of Florida, Inc.

• Court: Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
• Decided: February 5, 2014
• Docket: 13-11830
• Status: Unpublished

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The District Court grounded its subject matter jurisdiction in this class action under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA), rejecting plaintiffs’ motion to remand the case on the “grounds argument that diversity jurisdiction is absent and that SCI lacked the authority to remove.” Order dated November 8, 2012. The court thereafter granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint on the ground that the named plaintiffs lacked standing to sue. Order dated March 25, 2013.

Plaintiffs now appeal, renewing the arguments they made in support of their motion to remand and in favor of standing. We find no merit in these arguments for the reasons the District Court gave in rejecting them.

AFFIRMED.
