Vantage Drilling Co. v. Su, No. 13-20379 (5th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseVantage filed suit against defendant in Texas state court on various state law claims arising from defendant's role as a director of Vantage. Defendant moved to federal court and Vantage appealed the district court's denial of its motion to remand to state court. The court reversed and remanded with instructions that the district court remand to the state court because Vantage is a corporation with foreign citizenship and defendant is a foreign citizen. As in Chick Kam Choo v. Exxon Corp., there are aliens on both sides of the litigation, complete diversity is lacking, and there can be no diversity jurisdiction.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on January 20, 2014.
