Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Seeger denies a formerly pro-se debt case litigant’s motion to remand her class action to state court. The litigant, while defending herself against a debt collection agency in state court, used an online service known as SoloSuit to file an answer to the debt collector’s complaint. However, SoloSuit never filed the answer it generated for her, leaving her scrambling to find a lawyer who could file the answer themselves. She then filed a class action against the makers of SoloSuit, who had it removed to federal court. The litigant attempted to have it moved back to state court, arguing her case doesn’t satisfy the federal court’s amount-in-controversy requirement, but the court disagrees. It finds her class action “plausibly alleges a potential recovery of more than $5 million.”
