Case Style:
Mary Lou Diana v. Wal-Mart Stores East, L.P.
Case Number: 3:18-cv-01811-WWE
Judge: Warren E. Enginton
Court: United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (New Haven County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: Steven P. Ciardiello
Defendant's Attorney: Janie D. Lai
Description:
New Haven, CT - Mary Lou Diana sued Wal-Mart Stores East, L.P. on a personal injury negligence theory.
The case was removed by Wal-Mart to federal court and the Plaintiff moved to remand the case.
For a federal court to have jurisdiction over a personal injury case like this, there would have to be complete diversity of citizenship between the plaintiff and the defendant and the plaintiff would have to be seeking more than $75,000 in damages. That was apparently not the case here, so the federal court did not have jurisdiction over the case.
Outcome: Remanded.
