United States Third Circuit

In an action brought by a class of landowners who sought to lease the oil and gas rights in their land, alleging breach of agreement and the duty of fair dealing, the district court's order remanding the case to state court based on the "home state" exception to subject matter jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) is affirmed but on the separate grounds of CAFA's "local controversy" exception.
