- ilnd;;1:20-cv-02006_de17 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The defendant has moved to dismiss plaintiff's complaint, which asserts state-law claims but was filed in federal court under the Class Action Fairness Act, 28 USC 1332(d)(2). The relevant provision of CAFA requires, among other things, that the aggregate amount in controversy exceed $5,000,000. Plaintiff's allegation in this regard is entirely conclusory, and there is reason to be skeptical - plaintiff's own claimed damages seem rather modest, and there are no allegations suggesting a large enough class to get the total class damages over the threshold. Defendant has not challenged jurisdiction, but the Court must. Plaintiff is directed to file, by 6/26/2020, an amended complaint providing more detailed allegations supporting federal jurisdiction, and defendant is directed to file, by 7/3/2020, a statement explaining why it believes (as it apparently does) that federal subject matter jurisdiction exists. The motion to dismiss is entered and continued to the initial telephonic status hearing set for 7/15/2020 at 9:25 AM. (mk) (Entered: 06/18/2020)" @default.
