On July 19, 2010, the Eleventh Circuit issued an opinion based on CAFA, a “statutory labyrinth.” Subsequent reflection led the panel to conclude that its original interpretation was incorrect: Specifically, CAFA’s text does not require at least one plaintiff in a class action to meet the amount-in-controversy requirement of 28 U.S.C. 1332(a). Accordingly, the Court vacated its earlier opinion. Cappuccitti v. DirecTV, 623 F.3d 1118 (11th Cir. 2010) (on rehearing).
