KYLE HAMER, Appellant v. LIVANOVA DEUTSCHLAND GMBH, FKA Sorin Group Deutschland GMBH; LIVANOVA HOLDING USA, Inc. FKA Sorin Group USA, Inc., 994 F.3d 173

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-Order dismissing claims in this Louisiana Products Liability Act multidistrict litigation (MDL) was reversed because, by dismissing appellant's claims with prejudice, the district court deprived appellant of the opportunity to litigate his claims in any venue without consideration of how they might fare outside the MDL context. More was required before a court should wholly extinguish a claim.
