1Opinion of the Court
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO REMAND
JOHN A. WOODCOCK, JR., Chief Judge.
Because the Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Class Action Complaint relates back to their original complaints, which were filed before the passage of the Class Action Fairness Act, Pub. L. No. 109-2, 119 Stat. 4 (2005) (CAFA), the Court concludes that CAFA does not apply and grants Plaintiffs’ Motion to Remand (Docket #245) (Pis.’Mot.).
