United States Seventh Circuit

In a consolidated multidistrict suit alleging violations of ERISA, breaches of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and conversion, grant of plaintiffs' motion for remand is affirmed where the plaintiffs did not expressly or through conduct evidence an intent contrary to the mandate of the multidistrict litigation statute, thus relinquishing the right to remand the case and consenting to retention of the case by the transferee court.
