TEAM ONE PROPERTIES LLC, c/o Larry Jackson
Plaintiff - Appellant
v.
CERTAIN UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYDS LONDON
Defendant - Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana, New Orleans
USDC No. 2:07-CV-4493
Before STEWART, OWEN, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Team One Properties LLC purchased an insurance policy at Lloyds of
London. As this court has previously explained in detail, Lloyds is not an
underwriter of any of the policies, acting only as a facilitator for insurers and
insureds to engage each other. See Corfield v. Dallas Glen Hills LP, 355 F.3d
853 (5th Cir. 2003).

At issue here is whether Team One is entitled to an additional $47,594.37
for its insurance claim. The risk of the $70,000 policy was divided among 4,435
underwriters. The district court found that Team One did not demonstrate that
the amount in controversy against any completely diverse underwriter was in
excess of the jurisdictional $75,000 exclusive of interest and costs. See 28 U.S.C.
§1332. We agree.
For the reasons stated by the district court, the dismissal is AFFIRMED.
