Question:

4. Does 28 U.S.C. § 1359 prevent using assignment to destroy diversity of citizenship, and so to block defendant’s removal of an action from state to federal court? The Fifth Circuit has held that “[b]ecause of their similarity, assignments which destroy diversity and assignments which create diversity should be analyzed under the same standard.” Grassi v. Cib-Geigy, Ltd., 894 F.2d 181, 184 (5th Cir. 1990). Does the text of the statute support this result?
