  • United States Court of Appeals, 6th Circuit, Honorable John B. Nalbandian, 2021-2022
Adams v. 3M Company, 65 F.4th 802 (6th Cir. 2023) This appeal involved two mass tort cases, each permissively joining the claims of more than 100 plaintiffs and seeking a singular jury trial and judgment. Following removal under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA), the district court remanded to state court, and we then obtained leave to appeal. Rejecting the district court’s approach and adopting our position as circuit law, the Sixth Circuit held that a mass action permissively joining the claims of more than 100 plaintiffs is presumptively removable under CAFA. Further rejecting the plaintiffs’ local-controversy argument, the Sixth Circuit held the cases should proceed in federal court.
