September 9, 2008 Opinion or Order Filing 78 ORDER CERTIFYING QUESTION TO THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE SUPREME COURT - The United States District Court for the District of Nebraska certifies the following question of state law to the Supreme Court of North Carolina: Is a plaintiff's claim unde r the North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive TradePractices Act (NCUDTPA), N.C. Gen. Stat. § 75-1.1, et seq. barred byNorth Carolina's common law Economic Loss Rule when the plaintiff'sdamages are limited to the economic loss resulting fr om damage to theproduct itself? It appears to the Court that this issue of North Carolina state law may be determinative of this litigation, and there is no clear controlling North Carolina state law precedent. Furthermore, the issue presented for c ertification is likely to recur in the future if leftunresolved by the North Carolina Supreme Court. Because the decision regarding theapplication of North Carolina's Economic Loss Rule to recovery under the NCUDTPA directly affects the public i nterest in North Carolina, the issue is properly presented to the North Carolina Supreme Court for certification. Pending determination by the North Carolina Supreme Court as to whether or not it will accept for review the certified question, IT IS O RDERED: The clerk of this court is hereby directed to transmit forthwith to the North CarolinaState Supreme Court, under the official seal of the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska, a copy of this order. Member Cases: 8:07-cv-00298-LSC-FG3, 8:08-cv-00078-LSC-FG3, 8:08-cv-00079-LSC-FG3. Ordered by Judge Laurie Smith Camp. (Copies mailed as directed)(KBJ)
