• holding that a corporation’s principal place of business is its “nerve center,” 16 typically at its corporate headquarters
• holding that proximate cause was not satisfied because the plaintiff’s “theory of liability rests on the independent actions of third and even fourth parties”

• holding that the City of New York could not recover for online cigarette retailers' failure to provide accurate tax information to the State of New York, hindering New York City's efforts to collect taxes from cigarette customers
