Rosenblatt v. Ernst & Young International, Ltd.

MEMORANDUM *

Richard Rosenblatt (“Rosenblatt”) appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to remand for lack of diversity jurisdiction his claims against Ernst & Young International, Ltd. (“EYI”), Ernst & Young, LLP (“EY-LLP”), and EY-LLP partner, James Pope (“Pope”). We have jurisdiction over this timely appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and, for the reasons set forth below, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings.

I The District Court Properly Ignored EY-LLP and Pope In Determining the Existence of Diversity Jurisdiction Because They Were “Sham Defendants”…
