OPINION OF THE COURT
FREEDMAN, Circuit Judge
This appeal was argued before a panel and we ordered it to be reargued before the court en banc with Esposito v. Emery, 3 Cir., 402 F.2d 878 so that we could review the troublesome question of the jurisdiction of a federal court where diversity of citizenship is created or “manufactured” by the appointment of a nonresident guardian of a minor, selected solely for the purpose of creating diversity. Here federal jurisdiction over the parent’s consequential claim is asserted as pendent to the “manufactured” diversity claim of the child for damages.
