Superior Court of California, 137 S. Ct. 1773 (2017), a mass-tort action in which the Court held that a California state court lacked personal jurisdiction over an out-of-state defendant as to claims of nonresident plaintiffs who had no connection to California. Since the Supreme Court decided Bristol-Myers Squibb, district courts have split on its applicability to both FLSA collective actions and class actions brought under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
