United States Ninth Circuit

The district court's sua sponte order remanding this putative class action to state court is reversed and remanded, where: 1) the court has appellate jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. section 1453(c)(1) to consider the district court's sua sponte remand order; and 2) the undisputed declaration submitted by defendant sufficiently established that the amount in controversy was at least $5 million, as required by the Class Action Fairness Act.
