Hart v. Fedex Ground Package System Inc‪.‬

After Jeffrey Hart filed suit against FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. ("FedEx Ground"), in Pennsylvania state court, FedEx Ground removed the case to federal court under the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005, (CAFA), Pub. L. 109-2, 119 Stat. 4 (2005); later, the case found its way to the Northern District of Indiana, where Hart unsuccessfully tried to persuade the district court that this case really belonged back in Pennsylvania state court, under the "home-state controversy" or "local controversy" exceptions to CAFA. Concluding that Hart had the burden of showing that these exceptions applied, the district court denied his motion to remand.
