Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Eric A. Parzianello, John A. Hubbard, Kevin C. Majewski, HUBBARD, SNITCHLER & PARZIANELLO, Plymouth, Michigan, for Appellant.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: Adam G. Winnie, Scott T. Seabolt, HICKEY HAUCK BISHOFF JEFFERS & SEABOLT, PLLC, Plymouth, Michigan, for Appellee.

Judge(s): GILMAN, GRIFFIN, and THAPAR, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit

GRIFFIN, Circuit Judge. Federal courts have subject-matter jurisdiction in certain cases where there is complete diversity of citizenship. 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). Here, the parties and the district court spent years in discovery and dispositive motion practice without properly establishing the parties’citizenship. Because we are not convinced that the parties are diverse, we vacate the district court’s judgment and remand for consideration of subject-matter jurisdiction.
