221478P.pdf   04/04/2023  Eric Sorenson  v.  Joanne Sorenson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-1478
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Melloy and Kobes, Circuit Judges] Civil case. Civil Procedure. The deceased's third son was not a required party in this action by his siblings against their step-mother concerning the closing of certain CDs; as a result, the district court did not commit plain error in deciding it had diversity jurisdiction without considering 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1359 sua sponte; the district court did not err in determining that the claims in plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint were claims that belonged to decedent for actions taken before his death and to his estate for actions taken after his death; as a result, the complaint was properly dismissed for failure to state plausible claims of fraudulent misrepresentation and civil theft; the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the First Amended Complaint with prejudice.
