U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-1677
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Erickson and Grasz, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Class Actions. The district court's order certifying a
proposed class in this action alleging breach of contract, state-law
fraudulent concealment and a RICO violation is affirmed; the district
court made specific findings of fact and engaged in the kind of rigorous
analysis required for Fed. R. Civ. P. 23 class certification; the district
court did not err in determining that common questions predominate; nor
did the court err in determining plaintiffs' claims are typical of class
members' and that plaintiffs will represent class interests adequately;
finally, the court did not err in determining that a class action is a
superior method for trying claims which might be too small to pursue
individually.
