Cobb v. Delta Exports, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• ruling that post-removal joinder of a non-diverse party, whether dispensable or not, destroys diversity jurisdiction and requires remand pursuant to § 1447(e)
• holding that the fraudulent joinder doctrine is inapplicable post-removal because, when a defendant is joined after removal, “the defendants have a chance to argue against joinder before the court grants leave to amend”
• explaining that once a non-diverse defendant is added, a court’s diversity jurisdiction is destroyed, and the court must remand
• explaining that once a nondiverse defendant is joined, a court’s diversity jurisdiction is destroyed and the court must remand
• indicating that while fraudulent joinder analysis does not apply in evaluating a motion to amend that would add non-diverse defendants, the court should consider whether recovery is possible
• holding remand is required following post-removal joinder of a non-diverse, dispensable party
