United States Ninth Circuit
Benko v. Quality Loan Serv. Corp., 13-15185
In a diversity class action alleging defendants engaged in illegal debt collection practices in the course of carrying out non-judicial foreclosures, the district court's Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) dismissal is reversed where there was no federal jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act because one of the defendants, a Nevada corporation, was a "significant" defendant for purposes of CAFA's local controversy exception, 28 U.S.C. section 1332(d)(4)(A).
