   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2093
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Wollman and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Missouri Merchandising Practices Act. The district court did 
   err in determining that it had jurisdiction under the Class Action 
   Fairness Act because the cost of repairs for the Jeep brand vehicles 
   involved in the class, which is an available form of damages under the 
   Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, together with attorneys' fees, would 
   exceed the $5 million threshhold; the district court did not err in 
   dismissing the named plaintiff's claims as his purchase had no 
   relationship to the alleged misrepresentations concerning the vehicles' 
   safety; there was no evidence that either the buyer or the seller of the 
   vehicle was aware of defendant's alleged misrepresentation, and the seller 
   was not an unwitting conduit for passing on the substance of the 
   misrepresentation.
