[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Melloy, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Class Action Fairness Act. In action by an Arkansas county circuit clerk alleging various originators and servicers of loans used the Mortgage Electronic Registration System to avoid paying recording fees on mortgage assignments, the district court did not err in exercising jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act as plaintiff alleged a class action claim for illegal extraction, and the class for the claim was all Arkansas taxpayers; the district court did not err in exercising supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiff's state law claims and did not err in declining to abstain from deciding those claims; plaintiff's state law unjust enrichment and Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act claims failed to state a claim, and the district court did not err in dismissing them under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6).
