The plaintiff sued a builder in federal court on state law claims relating to alleged construction defects. The plaintiff, a citizen and resident of State A, purchased a new home from a builder. Within months, the home developed moisture and mold problems and is no longer habitable. The builder is a limited partnership consisting of four general partners who are citizens of State B and two limited partners, one a citizen of State A and one a citizen of State C. The builder moves to dismiss the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Will the builder’s motion be granted?
