United States Sixth Circuit

In a putative class action brought against defendant-insurer arising from an agreement to repair plaintiff's automobile, which was damaged in an accident with defendant's insured, a decision remanding the matter to state court is affirmed as, although the provisions of the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) are applicable to the matter at hand, defendant failed to demonstrate that the district court had original jurisdiction over the putative class action by virtue of an adequate amount in controversy.
