Hain Celestial Group, Inc. v. Palmquist · ¶49

Other federal courts adopt a similar approach to dismiss claims against nondiverse parties. See, e. g., Johnson v. Midwest Div.-RBH, LLC, 88 F. 4th 731, 735–736 (CA8 2023); Jerome-Duncan, Inc. v. Auto-By-Tel, L. L. C., 176 F. 3d 904, 907–909 (CA6 1999); Legg v. Wyeth, 428 F. 3d 1317, 1324, 1320–1325 (CA11 2005). Courts justify this approach based on a group of this Court's early-20th-century precedents that recognized a doctrine called fraudulent joinder. See, e. g., Alabama Great Southern R. Co. v. Thompson, 200 U. S. 206, 217 (1906).
