Examples of Original States in a sentence
The Original States (including Louisiana and Texas) filed an amended complaint on November 1, 2021 alleging substantially similar claims, but also adding state antitrust and consumer protection claims under Louisiana and Texas law.
On November 28, 2022, the Court certified a damages class of consumers in the 17 states and territories not represented by the Original States, but subsequently decertified the class on September 13, 2023.
The amended complaint will track the allegations and claims of the existing operative complaint in the State AG Action, except that it will add the Joining States as plaintiffs, will add parallel federal claims for the Joining States, and may include state law claims for some or all of the Joining States that are parallel to the claims asserted by the Original States.
