1Opinion of the Court
POSNER, Circuit Judge.
The district judge dismissed this case for want of diversity jurisdiction because he concluded that on the day the complaint had been filed, the defendant, Ray Heiden, was a citizen of Illinois — a state of which the plaintiff, Galva Foundry, is unquestionably a citizen for diversity purposes (it is incorporated in Illinois). This conclusion must stand unless clearly erroneous. Lew v. Moss, 797 F.2d 747, 750 (9th Cir.1986); Blakemore v. Missouri Pac. R. Co., 789 F.2d 616, 618 (8th Cir.1986); Julien v. Sarkes Tarzian, Inc., 352 F.2d 845 (7th Cir.1965); Casio, Inc. v. S.M.…
