Syllabus
<p>Where the State, suing on behalf of depositors of a bank, is an actual party plaintiff, the case cannot be removed to the Federal court. Missouri &c. Ry. v. Commissioners, 183 U. S. 53.</p> <p>Where a State, suing on behalf of depositors of a bank, is merely a nominal party, the case cannot be removed if none of the distinct judgments to be rendered in favor of any individual is large enough to confer jurisdiction: the amounts cannot be aggregated for that purpose. Rogers v. Hennepin County, 239 U. S. 621.</p> <p>The due process provision of the Fourteenth Amendment does not prevent a State from placing upon a bank commissioner the duty of closing a bank found upon examination to be insolvent without first instituting proceedings and obtaining an award.</p>
