A magistrate judge in the Northern District of Texas declined to act on an insurer’s unopposed summary judgment motion in an indemnity agreement suit against its insureds, holding that the insurer — as the party invoking diversity jurisdiction — failed to provide evidence sufficient to support the citizenship findings necessary to establish subject matter jurisdiction at the summary judgment stage, and also denied the insurer’s related motion to compel a response and mediation.
