183587P.pdf   02/10/2020  Robert Ellingsworth  v.  Vermeer Manufacturing Company
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3587
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin   
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Erickson and Arnold, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Products liability. The district court did not err in denying plaintiff's motion to remand the matter to state court as the case was properly removed; nor did the court err in denying plaintiff's motion to amend his complaint to add a claim of agency liability against defendant as he could not establish good cause for his failure to timely amend the complaint; on appeal plaintiff makes clear that his products liability and failure to warn claims concern only the winch attachment to defendant's wood chipper; the record clearly established that the winch was added at a later time by a third party and defendant was entitled to summary judgment as it did not manufacture the winch attachment that injured plaintiff.
