United States Seventh Circuit
Koral v. Being Co., 10-8035
In Boeing's appeal under the provision of the Class Action Fairness Act that allows the court of appeals to entertain an appeal from an order remanding to the state court a purported "mass action" removed to federal district under the Act, arising from 29 separate suits involving the crash of a Turkish airliner built by Boeing in the Netherlands in 2009, the orders remanding are affirmed as Boeing's removal of the cases was premature as the proposal cannot be made by a defendant, because Boeing's desire for a joint trial cannot support removal.
