Saadeh v. Farouki
D.C. Circuit
107 F.3d 52 (D.C. Cir. 1997)
Relevant factsFree
Saadeh (plaintiff), a Greek citizen, sued Farouki (defendant) after Farouki defaulted on a loan. Saadeh invoked diversity jurisdiction, arguing Farouki -- recently granted U.S. permanent-resident status and living in Maryland -- should be treated as a Maryland citizen under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. The district court entered judgment for Saadeh, and Farouki appealed, challenging subject-matter jurisdiction.
IssueFree
Whether there is subject matter jurisdiction for a case involving an alien granted permanent resident status and a non-resident alien.
