OPINION OF THE COURT
ALDISERT, Circuit Judge.
The principal question for decision is whether a diversity case, originated in state court and otherwise properly removed to federal court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 14411 must be remanded because of a prior determination in a parallel case, originated in federal court, that an identical claim did not satisfy the $10,000 federal jurisdictional threshold of 28 U.S.C. § 1332.2 The district court denied plaintiff’s motion to remand, exercised federal jurisdiction, and dismissed the case as barred by the state statute of limitations. We affirm.
