Siaca v. DCC Operating, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that plaintiff’s damages claim was waived because “the argument was fatally undeveloped . . . [with] no analysis whatsoever”
• holding that a postfiling, nondiverse intervenor may “spoil” diversity jurisdiction
• remarking that “co- obligors generally are not indispensable parties in contract disputes that do not involve reformation, cancellation, rescission, or otherwise challenge the validity of the contract”
• noting the obligation \to inquire sua sponte into our [subject matter] jurisdiction\ (quoting Doyle v. Huntress, Inc., 419 F.3d 3, 6 (1st Cir. 2005))
• finding claim waived because “as presented to the district court ... the argument was fatally undeveloped, com prising only four sentences, a citation to a district court opinion, and no analysis whatsoever”
• collecting cases, including Aurora, and determining that “the weight of authority holds that claims launched by necessary but dispensable, nondiverse defendant- intervenors do not defeat the original jurisdiction (diversity) that obtained at the commencement of the action.”
