7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Tushawn Craig, et al., v. City of Richmond, Indiana
No. 26-1864
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Judge Matthew P. Brookman. The court affirmed the district court’s order to remand the case to state court, concluding that the local event or occurrence exception to the Class Action Fairness Act is jurisdictional. The court found all claims arose from a single event — an industrial facility fire in Richmond, Indiana — which satisfies the exception as it resulted in injuries within the state. Chief Judge Brennan authored the opinion. No concurrences or dissents were noted.
