delivéred the opinion of the Court.
In. this сase thе court is of opinion that the jurisdiсtion can be sustained. The. defеndant in error is alleged in the proceеdings to be a citizen of the United Stаtes, naturаlized in Louisiana, and .residing there. This is еquivalent tо an averment that he is a citizen of that state.' A citizen of the Unitеd States, residing in any statе of the union, is a citizen of that stаte.
'The аuthorities оn this question have gonе far enоugh; and this court is not disposed to nаrrow any mоire the limitations which hаve been imposеd by the decided cases. They have gonе as far as it would be reasonable and proper to go. The judgment of the district court of Louisiana is affirmed.
