   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3051
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Loken, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Civil Procedure. The district court did not err in applying a six-factor test to determine whether a party has colluded to manufacture diversity as the test allowed it to sufficiently address factors relevant to whether an assignment of a legal claim functioned as part of scheme to manufacture diversity; nor did the court err in determining that plaintiff collusively manufactured diversity for the purpose of bringing suit in federal court.
