Mazhar Footsteps, LLC v. AmGuard Insurance Co.
A court of the Western District of Texas denied an insured's motion to remand its hail loss claim, finding that, under a summary inquiry approach to evaluating improper joinder grounds for determining complete diversity jurisdiction, a property insurer's notice of removal and letter of election of an adjuster's liability under Texas Insurance Code Section 542A.006 supported finding that the insured had no possibility of recovery against the adjuster and, therefore, diversity jurisdiction was established.
