ROBERT L. HOECKER 

Clerk 

No. 87-1939 

(D.C. No. 86-2785W) 

( W. D. Okla. ) 

Before ANDERSON and TACHA, Circuit Judges, and ROGERS, District 

Judge.** 

**The Honorable Richard D. Rogers, United States District Judge 

for the District of Kansas, sitting by designation. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

*This order and 

be cited, or 

for purposes of 

res judicata, 

judgment has no precedential value and shall not 

used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except 

establishing the doctrines of the law of the case, 

or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 36.3.

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. 

submitted without oral argument. 

The cause is therefore ordered 

Plaintiff has appealed from the dismissal of this action for 

lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The district court concluded 

that diversity jurisdiction had been improperly manufactured in 

violation of 28 u.s.c. § 1359. 

Our review is limited to whether the district court's 

determination was clearly erroneous. Martinez v. United States 

Olympic Committee, 802 F.2d 1275, 1279 (10th Cir. 1986). We have 

examined the record on appeal and conclude that the district 

court's perception of the evidence was permissible and, as such, 

not clearly erroneous. See Anderson v. City of Bessemer City, 470 

U.S. 564, 573-76 (1985). 

Accordingly, the order of the United States District Court 

for the Western District of Oklahoma is AFFIRMED. 

The mandate sha ll issue forthwith.
