Before RUBIN, POLITZ, and JOHNSON, Circuit Judges.

ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:

A defendant who was added to a state court action when it had been pending for four years maintains that it has the right to remove the action to federal court. The action was removable when filed because it involved parties diverse in citizenship and removal is sought on the basis of diversity. Finding that removal was improvident, we reverse the order of the district court refusing to remand the case.
