A pаrts mаnufаcturer is incоrpоrated in State A and has its principal place оf business in State B. A component assembler is incorporated and has its principal place of business in State C. Under a contract between the parties, the manufacturer delivered 100,000 widgets, worth $0.76 each, to one of the assembler’s smaller plants in State B. The assembler failed to pay for the parts. The manufacturer sued the assembler in the State C Southern District Court on the basis of diversity jurisdiction. After trial, a judgment was entered for the manufacturer. It is then learned that the manufacturer is also incorporated in State C, a fact that the manufacturer forgot when it filed suit. The assembler appeals, alleging that the court lacked jurisdiction. The manufacturer argues that its status was a matter of public record and that the assembler may not now raise the issue. How should the court of appeals rule?
