United States Ninth Circuit

In this putative class action, judgment remanding the action to state court is reversed, where, applying the framework of analysis in Ibarra v. Manheim Investments, Inc., it was found that defendants had met their burden of proof because defendants relied on a reasonable chain of logic and presented sufficient evidence to establish that the amount in controversy exceeded the $5 million required to proceed in federal court.
