Ninth Circuit holds again that parens patriae actions are not removable under CAFA: Nevada v. Bank of America

In State of Nevada v. Bank of America Corp., ___ F.3d ___ (9th Cir. Mar. 2, 2012), the Ninth Circuit confirmed again that parens patriae actions brought by the government are neither "class actions" nor "mass actions" and therefore are not removable under CAFA. 

In October, it reached the same conclusion in Washington v. Chimei Innolux Corp., 659 F.3d 843 (9th Cir. 2011), discussed in this blog post.
