Executive Summary

The District of Utah dismissed a pro se consumer lawsuit against Southwest Airlines for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The plaintiff claimed $115 in bag fees violated Southwest's 'no fees' policy and demanded $45 million, but the court found no federal question and that the amount in controversy could not plausibly exceed $75,000. This is a routine procedural dismissal with no material impact on Southwest's business or stock.
