Woodside v. Beckham, 216 U.S. 117 (1910)
Woodside v. Beckham
No. 56
Argued December 9, 1909
Decided February 21, 1910
216 U.S. 117
Syllabus
Where a plaintiff sues as assignee of several claims, but is not in fact the owner of all the claims sued upon, and none of the claims is sufficient in amount to confer jurisdiction on the federal court, that court has no jurisdiction and should dismiss the case for that reason although the assigned claims may in the aggregate exceed the jurisdictional amount.
142 F.1d 7 affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
