Missed It By That Much.

Talk about chutzpah, what do you make of a defendant that goes through a full  bench trial before Judge Moreno, loses a breach of k to the tune of $5 million, then moves to vacate the judgment for lack of diversity jurisdiction?

Not much, according to the Judge.

Just a suggestion.
