Nazario v. Deere & Co.

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that an unexplained delay of approximately five months weighed against joinder
• noting that plaintiff's unjustified five-month delay after removal to federal court weighed in favor of denying joinder
• explaining that courts may “infer from plaintiff’s litigation behavior” whether their motives are permissible or impermissible
• finding no prejudice even where the state action had “progressed through discovery and [would] soon be placed on the trial calendar”
• “question[ing] the propriety of belatedly effectuating a result which plaintiff could have reached without waste and circuitousness”
• finding this factor to slightly favor remand even where it was “not self-evident that . . . denying remand would heedlessly undermine judicial economy and efficiency”
