The following excerpt is from Wellons v. PNS Stores, Inc., Case No. 18-cv-2913 DMS (WVG) (S.D. Cal. 2019):
Plaintiffs also argue remand is proper because two exceptions to CAFA jurisdiction apply: the local controversy exception and the home-state controversy exception. See 28 U.S.C. 1332(d)(4). Plaintiffs bear the burden of demonstrating that a CAFA exception applies. See Mondragon v. Capital One Auto Fin., 736 F.3d 880, 883 (9th Cir. 2013).
