A ruling made under one state's statute may very well influence litigation brought under another state's statute. See, e.g. , Wilson v. MRO Corp. , No. 16-5279, 2017 WL 1534202, at *4 (S.D. W. Va. April 27, 2017) (relying cases brought under New York law to guide the court's decision on issues that arose in a case brought under West Virginia law). Accordingly, Defendants' reliance on the purpose of the local controversy exception is unavailing.
