What happened
This appeal arises from a putative class action brought by Christopher Manhart against WESPAC Foundation Inc., National Students for Justice in Palestine, and Tides Center. The docket indicates the nature of suit is 'Other Personal Injury,' and the court has directed the parties to address class-action jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d), including numerosity and amount in controversy; the specific personal injury allegations are not detailed in the docket text. The allegations remain unproven.
Do you qualify?

How to file
