7. Consider how the following situations will affect removal:

(a) After removal, plaintiff amends her complaint to ask for less than the amount-incontroversy requirement. See St. Paul Mercury Indem. Co. v. Red Cab Co., 303 U.S.

283, 58 S.Ct. 586, 82 L.Ed. 845 (1938).

349

(b) The complaint seeks recovery for “no more than $75,000.” See Capps v. New Jellico Coal Co., 87 F.Supp. 369 (E.D. Tenn. 1950).

(c) The complaint seeks equitable or declaratory relief. See 42 U.S.C. § 1446(c)(2)(a)(ii).

(d) The complaint does not include an ad damnum clause. See 42 U.S.C. § 1446(c)(2)(a)(i);

see also Baude, Clarification Needed: Fixing theJurisdiction and Venue Clarification Act, 110 Mich. L. Rev. First Impressions 33, 37 (2012).

(e) Under state law the ad damnum clause does not function as a cap on recovery. See 14C Wright, Miller & Cooper, Federal Practice and Procedure: Jurisdiction and Related Matters 3d § 3725.
