Cook v. Pep Boys-Mannie, Moe & Jack, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that the plaintiff’s 13 failure to file an opposition to the motion for judgment on the pleadings “would not be sufficient to justify removal”
• if nondiverse party is found to have been fraudulently joined in state court, joinder may be ignored for purposes of determining whether a case was properly removed to federal court
• the voluntary/involuntary dismissal has been justified on the ground that an involuntary dismissal of a nondiverse party might be reversed by state courts on appeal but this would be precluded by removal of the litigation prior to consideration of that issue by the appellate courts of the state
