District Court, E.D. Virginia May 9, 2011, Case 1:11cv362 (Lott v. Scottsdale Insurance Company)

ORDER

T.S. ELLIS, III, District Judge.

Because the complaint in this removed state wrongful death case shows on its face a lack of diversity of citizenship among the parties, two threshold jurisdictional questions are presented.

First, whether it is permissible — after a removal has occurred — to realign the parties to produce the required diversity.
