Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas) obtained a dismissal for lack of federal jurisdiction over a complaint filed against a unit owners’ association for a residential high-rise building near the Las Vegas Strip. The plaintiff's complaint alleged that he sustained injuries after exposure to mold in the building. However, the plaintiff never pled facts supporting federal jurisdiction, even after being provided an opportunity to amend. The plaintiff appealed, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit concluded that the complaint did not plead facts that created either diversity or a federal question, affirming the dismissal.
