October 1, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ENDORSED ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE #7 Motion to Remand to State Court. Plaintiff contends that "[a]s soon as WAFFLE HOUSE identifies [the John Doe store manager], Plaintiff will amend his Complaint and there will not be complete diversity as this employee and Plaintiff will both be Florida residents." This is speculative. The citizenship of the parties governs diversity, and, until this is ascertained, the Court cannot determine whether diversity is defeated. Accordingly, the motion is premature on this basis alone. The Court does not address any concern with fraudulent joinder at this juncture. Signed by Judge Mary S. Scriven on 10/1/2019.(Scriven, Mary)
