Cox v. Guy F. Atkinson Co.

MEMORANDUM DECISION

McNAGNY, District Judge.

I. Jurisdiction.

This action was initiated on September 27, 1976 in the Circuit Court of Porter County, Indiana. It is with this Court as a result of defendant’s Petition for Removal, filed October 21, 1976, in which defendant availed itself of 28 U.S.C. § 1441, stating in support thereof that this “is a civil action wherein the matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value of $10,000 . . . and is between citizens of different states.” Plaintiff did not contest removal. It thus appears that the Court’s 28 U.S.C. § 1332 jurisdiction is here invoked.
