Heading: Isae Carcamo v. Shell Oil Co. (Isae)

Text: 12 Isae was originally brought in Morris County, Texas, by another lone Honduran citizen and resident. 15 Defendant Dow filed a single pleading containing both an answer and a third-party petition against Dead Sea, Ameribrom, and the Del Monte entities. As a result, state court leave to serve that petition was not required. Dead Sea removed the case to the Eastern District of Texas, and the other defendants joined in the removal, asserting additional bases of federal subject matter jurisdiction, and filed cross-claims against Dead Sea. Shell filed supplemental notices of removal. The Isae plaintiff moved to remand, asserting lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The case, however, was consolidated with Valdez, which we consider last.
