BURNS v. WINDSOR INS. CO.

No. 93-6453.

31 F.3d 1092 (1994)

Jacqueline BURNS, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. WINDSOR INSURANCE CO., Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

September 13, 1994.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas J. Knight, Knight, Nichols & Turner, Anniston, AL, for appellant.

J. Bentley Owens, III, Starnes & Atchison, Walter W. Bates, Steven T. McMeekin, Birmingham, AL, for appellee.

Before HATCHETT and EDMONDSON, Circuit Judges, and SMITH, Senior Circuit Judge.

EDMONDSON, Circuit Judge:

This case was removed to federal court from state court. The appeal asks whether federal diversity jurisdiction exists when plaintiff, in state court, seeks an award of actual and punitive damages "in such sum as the jury determines to be just, lawful and fair, but not more than $45,000.00", but plaintiff admits to the federal court she may, if circumstances change, amend her initial complaint in the future and seek more damages.
