Supreme Court of the United States
Anne Mercy Kakarala v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.a.
April 4, 2016136 S. Ct. 1153
Summary
Justice Thomas filed a dissent from the Supreme Court’s denial of a petition for certiorari, urging the Court to revisit and overrule Thermtron Products, Inc. v. Hermansdorfer’s interpretation of 28 U.S.C. §1447(d). He argues that the statute’s plain language unequivocally bars appellate review of remand orders, and that the Court’s prior reading is contrary to statutory construction principles. The dissent contends that Congress, not the Court, should be the source of any change to the law.
