Holsey v. Chandler

2 Citing cases

  1. Cobalt Mining, LLC v. Bank of America, N.A.

    CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:07-CV-598-S (W.D. Ky. Mar. 10, 2008)   Cited 14 times
    Rejecting defendant's argument that an arbitration clause established fraudulent joinder and remanding where the defendant removed case after state court dismissed non-diverse party because of an arbitration clause

    "[A] reversal on appeal `would destroy the diversity of the parties, make any action of the federal court a nullity, and offend, thereby, traditional notions of judicial economy.'" Id. (citing Arthur 598 F.Supp. 368-69). This court agrees that the Insigna approach would undercut the purpose of the voluntary/involuntary rule.

  2. Anderson v. D.C. Public Defender Service

    756 F. Supp. 28 (D.D.C. 1991)   Cited 5 times

    Similarly, DiFonzo, who was appointed by the District of Columbia and also compensated by it, does not by virtue of that appointment become a state actor. See, e.g., Holsey v. Chandler, 598 F. Supp. 368, 369-70 (D.D.C. 1984). It is nonetheless possible that, if Buchanan and DiFonzo had, as Anderson alleges, conspired with the U.S. Attorney, they could have acted under color of state law.
