United States v. Encinio-Moreno

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that the plaintiff can articulate the citizenship of a known, but anonymous defendant so as to allow the court to properly examine its subject matter jurisdiction without a public disclosure of the identity of the anonymous party
• “[The removing defendant] mistakenly interprets ‘fictitious’ to be synonymous with ‘anonymous.’ Merriam Webster defines ‘fictitious’ as ‘of, relating to, or characteristic of fiction: imaginary,’ which is further defined as ‘lacking factual reality.’”
• “[T]he Hospital does not lack a factual reality, as both th[e] Court and [removing defendant] are fully aware of the name and citizenship of the Hospital. In fact, the Hospital is represented by counsel, who has appeared and filed papers in this matter.” (internal citation omitted)
