How courts have described this case

• holding that “the Removing Defendants’ reliance on the doctrine of improper or fraudulent joinder to excuse [a defendant’s] lack of consent is misplaced” because the non-consenting defendant’s presence in the case “has no effect on the Court’s subject matter jurisdiction”
• lack of consent is a procedural defect, not a subject matter jurisdiction defect
