Key Principle

Where a case is removed on diversity grounds but a non-diverse defendant was properly joined, the federal court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction; a district court's erroneous interlocutory dismissal of that defendant does not cure the defect, and the case must be remanded to state court notwithstanding a completed trial and final judgment.
