Mozee v. Dugger

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

JOHN G. HEYBURN II, District Judge.

This case arises from an automobile accident which occurred in Jefferson County, Kentucky, in which Roger Dugger, driving a freightliner owned by Leggett & Platt, Inc., collided with another vehicle driven by Plaintiff, who suffered serious injuries as a result. Its subsequent removal to federal court has raised several difficult issues about the requirement that such removal under 28 U.S.C. § 1446(b) occur as soon as one can ascertain the minimum jurisdictional amount is met. The Court will address those questions now.
