FOSTER C. WILSON ET AL., PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS,
COMMERCIAL SECURITIES COMPANY ET AL., DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES
429 F.2d 1305
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (1970)
Cited by 5 cases
Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:
The judgment of the trial court dismissing this complaint for want of jurisdiction was clearly correct. Of the three plaintiffs named in the complaint, two were residents of Louisiana. At least three of the four defendants were residents of the same state. Obviously, therefore, there was no diversity jurisdiction in the district court. It is equally clear that appellants’ contention that the complaint was based on a case “arising under the constitution, laws or treaties of the United States” is incorrect. The action here was one based strictly on tort under the laws of the State of Louisiana.
The judgment is affirmed.

PER CURIAM:
