Randazzo v. Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc.
District Court, E.D. Pennsylvania (1987) | 117 F.R.D. 557; 1987 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 9849; 1987 WL 4229
TL;DR: A court dismissed a complaint with prejudice after plaintiff's counsel, having been explicitly instructed on how to cure a jurisdictional defect, refiled the same deficient pleading that failed to properly allege corporate citizenship for diversity jurisdiction.
Legal Significance: This case serves as a stark reminder that to establish diversity jurisdiction over a corporation, a plaintiff must affirmatively plead both its state of incorporation and its principal place of business, not just one or the other.
