United States Ninth Circuit

In an action which alleged that defendant had improperly classified its managers as exempt from overtime, the district court's order remanding the case back to state court is reversed and remanded, where: 1) the action was not moot based on the state court's subsequent determination to certify the class; 2) the second removal of the case under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) was timely; and 3) the CAFA's amount-in-controversy requirement was met.
