U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 21-3815
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Loken and Arnold, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil Procedure. In a suit for coverage for losses incurred
as a result of a COVID-19 closing order, defendant removed the suit
brought by its insured to federal court; the district court then dismissed
the action for failure to state a claim. On appeal, plaintiff asserted,
for the first time, that at least 25 of its members were citizens of
Illinois, defendant's principal place of business and that neither the
district court nor this court had jurisdiction because there was a lack of
complete diversity. Remanded for a factual determination as to whether the
parties are diverse.
