Deckers Corp. v. US
In a suit contesting the proper classification of three styles of sports sandals under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, a decision holding that the merchandise was properly classified under subheading 6404.19.35 is affirmed where the sandals at issue have open toes and open heels, and lack the features of the named exemplars of 6406.11.80, and thus the imported goods are not classifiable under that subheading notwithstanding their claimed status as athletic footwear.

LM Ins. Corp. v. Spaulding Enterprises Inc.
In a suit attempting to collect an outstanding judgment against defendants, a dismissal ruling finding that plaintiff failed to meet the amount in controversy requirement is affirmed in part and reversed in part where: 1) an alter ego claim satisfied the amount in controversy requirement because it is the case, not the claim, to which the minimum amount applies; 2) the breach of fiduciary duty claim satisfied the amount in controversy requirement since Illinois allows punitive damages for a breach of fiduciary duty; and 3) plaintiff failed to meet the amount in controversy requirement for fraud and conspiracy to defraud claims against one of the defendants.
