The district judge, on defendant’s motion, dismissed this action for lack of jurisdiction on the ground that diversity was “manufactured.”
Michael J. Ware, a minor, was injured on December 2, 1966. In 1967 the present action was instituted by Ellon Butler, who had been appointed guardian of the minor’s estate by the Orphans’ Court of Chester County, Pennsylvania, and by his parents, James Ware and Gloria Goddard. The parents sued for their expenses in the care and treatment of the minor’s injuries and for their deprivation of his earnings during minority.
