Murphy, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - diversity. State court action against out-of-state defendant
and in-state defendant was removed to federal court. District court's
denial of motion to remand and dismissal of non-diverse defendant on
basis that he was fraudulently joined is affirmed, as the non-diverse
defendant was immune from suit under the state workers' compensation
law.
