Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit January 2, 2001, No. 99-55400 (Tosco Corp. v. Communities for a Better Environment)

PER CURIAM.

Tosco Corporation (“Tosco”) claims that the district court has diversity jurisdiction over this action under 28 U.S.C. § 1332 because, under the “nerve *497center” test, its principal place of business is Connecticut. But we apply the “place of operations” test when a corporation conducts a substantial predominance of its business activities within a state.
