US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Opinions | | Dieuvil v. Gebrueder Knauf Verwaltungsgesellschaft, KG | | Docket: 20-30120 Opinion Date: May 20, 2020 Judge: Per Curiam Areas of Law: Civil Procedure, Class Action | | Plaintiff joined the Chinese-Manufactured Drywall Products Liability Multi-District Litigation, alleging that his home contained defective Chinese-manufactured drywall. Plaintiff challenged the district court's award of $300,000 in damages and Knauf Defendants move to dismiss. The Fifth Circuit granted the Knauf Defendants' motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and dismissed the appeal. In this case, the New Claims Settlement Agreement incorporates another agreement that has a waiver of appellate rights, and these explicit waivers clearly and unequivocally waive plaintiff's right to appeal. | | |
