United States Ninth Circuit
Demarest v. HSBC Bank USA, N.A., 17-56432
Held that diversity jurisdiction existed over a homeowner's lawsuit stemming from a mortgage foreclosure. The homeowner contended that a trust was a non-diverse party, destroying diversity jurisdiction. However, the Ninth Circuit disagreed, on appeal from a summary judgment ruling.
