Question Presented (from Petition)
When determining the citizenship of a class for purposes of CAFA's home-state exception, 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(4)(B), does this Court's long-standing residency-domicile presumption allow a court to presume that a class defined as state residents consists of at least two-thirds state citizens, or must a plaintiff come forward with additional evidence of citizenship?
