Question presented

Did the lower courts disregard this Court’s judgment in United Student Aid Funds, Inc. v. Espinosa, 559 U.S. 260 (2010), and thereby defeat the public policy in favor of finality of judgments, in dismissing this Action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction based solely on the lack of sufficient diversity allegations in the complaint and in the absence of any evidence that there was not complete diversity of the parties?
