I have a question that may have been covered in class or in the text... Suppose A sues B (non-fed q) in federal court and the proper requirements for diversity jurisdiction are met. What happens if B impleads C, and C is from the same state as A? Does the court lose subject matter jurisdiction over the original claim? Must B's impleader claim against C meet the requirements for diversity (> $75,000, etc.)?
