131485P.pdf 04/04/2014 Melvin Wallace v. ConAgra Foods, Inc.
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-1485
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Loken, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Class Actions. In action by kosher meat consumers alleging
defendant misrepresented the kosher status of its Hebrew National Kosher
Beef products, including its Kosher hot dogs, the consumers lacked
standing to bring the suit because consumers' allegations failed to show a
particularized, actual injury in fact; CAFA does not extend federal
jurisdiction to state law claims - if any exist - permitting recovery for
bare statutory violations without any evidence the plaintiffs personally
suffered a real, non-speculative injury in fact; the district court erred,
however, in dismissing the case with prejudice, and the matter is remanded
to the district court with instructions to return the case to the
Minnesota state court for lack of federal jurisdiction.
