# 28 U.S.C. § 1653 - Amendment of pleadings to show jurisdiction
## Text
Defective allegations of jurisdiction may be amended, upon terms, in the trial or appellate courts.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 944.)
## Notes
Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 399 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, § 274c, as added Mar. 3, 1915, ch. 90, 38 Stat. 956). Section was extended to permit amendment of all jurisdictional allegations instead of merely allegations of diversity of citizenship as provided by section 399 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed. Changes were made in phraseology.
