OPINION AND ORDER

KELLEY, District Judge.

Although plaintiff Billy J. Carter ("Carter") and defendant Master Tool Repair, Inc. ("Master Tool") are both Virginia citizens, defendants removed this product liability action from state to federal court. Defendants assert that removal is proper because Master Tool was fraudulently joined as a party to defeat diversity jurisdiction.
