United States Eleventh Circuit

In an action against DirecTV, Inc., seeking the recovery, on behalf of plaintiffs and similarly situated DirecTV subscribers in Georgia, of the fees DirecTV charged its subscribers for canceling their subscriptions prior to the subscriptions' expiration, the district court's partial dismissal of the complaint on the merits is vacated with instructions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction where the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) because the complaint failed to meet the CAFA's requirement that at least one plaintiff allege an individual amount in controversy over $75,000.
