Hain Celestial Group, Inc. v. Palmquist
Decided February 24, 2026. Sonia Sotomayor delivered the opinion of the Court.
Docket 24-724
Holding
Because the District Court’s erroneous dismissal of Whole Foods Market did not cure the jurisdictional defect that existed when this case was removed to federal court, the Fifth Circuit correctly vacated the judgment in favor of Hain Celestial Group.
