Outcome

The court granted the plaintiffs' motion to remand, finding that complete diversity jurisdiction did not exist because First Union National Bank, a federally chartered bank with branch offices in Pennsylvania, is a citizen of Pennsylvania under 28 U.S.C. § 1348, the same state where the defendant American Casualty Company maintains citizenship.
