Varnal v. Aarp Hartford Ins‪.‬

Varnal alleged that defendants AARP Hartford Insurance Company, Hartford Insurance Company Claims Manager Joe Scott, and Hartford Insurance Company Senior Claims Representative Kelvin Parker discriminated against him when they denied him automobile insurance coverage and cancelled his homeowners policy. Defendants moved to dismiss on the grounds that the complaint was not served on any defendant and that the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the controversy because the complaint failed to raise a federal question. Defendants also argued that complete diversity was not present because both Parker and Varnal were Missouri residents.
