What happened
Interstate Management Company, LLC v. 510 W42 Hotel Operating, LLC concerns Interstate’s request to end the case after jurisdictional discovery. The letter is addressed to Judge Denise L. Cote.
Interstate’s lawyer said discovery showed that an individual domiciled in Texas owned an interest in one of the entities that owned an interest in 510 W42 Hotel Operating. Interstate therefore concluded that complete diversity of citizenship did not exist and asked the court to dismiss the case without prejudice so it could refile in the proper forum.
The provided text does not contain a ruling by Judge Cote. It shows only Interstate’s request; it does not show whether Judge Cote granted or denied that request.
