BATTER v. WILLIAMS

No. 19945.

316 F.2d 540 (1963)

Carl J. BATTER, Appellant, v. Columbus Jefferson (Joe) WILLIAMS, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.

April 29, 1963.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carl J. Batter, Washington, D. C., for appellant.

Walter G. Arnold, Jacksonville, Fla., for appellee.

Before TUTTLE, Chief Judge, and JONES and BELL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant appeals from a dismissal of his complaint for failure to meet the $10,000 jurisdictional amount in controversy. Although appellant alleged that his claim exceeded $10,000, it appears to a legal certainty after examining the complaint in its entirety that the plaintiff could not proceed to a judgment for an amount necessary to the jurisdiction of the district court. See Vance v. W. A. Vandercook Co., 170 U.S. 468
