Date Filed Document Text
October 18, 2021 Opinion or Order ORDER (by docket entry only): The Court VACATES its Order to Show Cause entered on October 15, 2021 (Dkt. 8) for the reasons stated in the Court's Order entered on September 13, 2021 (Dkt. 6). Ordered by Judge Michael L. Brown on 10/18/2021. (jpk)
October 15, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: The Court ORDERS Plaintiffs to SHOW CAUSE, on or before November 5, 2021, why this case should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. To the extent Plaintiffs believe diversity jurisdiction is proper, the Court ORDERS Plaintiffs to supplement their complaint to properly state all parties citizenship and show compliance with the requirements of 28 U.S.C. 1332.

September 13, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER: The parties filed a joint motion to remand and transfer the case to state court. (Dkt. #5 .) Because the case was originally filed in this court and was not removed from a state court, the Court has no authority to remand the case. See Flagstar Bank, FSB v. Grace Retail Inv., LLC, No. 1:11-CV-593, 2011 WL 13220146, at *1 n.1 ("Although the motion seeks remand as an alternative to dismissal, since this case was originally filed in this court and was not removed from a state court, this court has no authority to remand the case."). The Court DENIES the parties' Joint Motion to Remand and Transfer Case to State Court (Id.). The Court instead finds dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is the only appropriate disposition of this case. See Legg v. Wyeth, 428 F.3d 1317, 1320 n.2 (11th Cir. 2005) (diversity jurisdiction requires "the citizenship of every plaintiff... be diverse from the citizenship of every defendant"). (Dkts. 1 1 (alleging Plaintiff Jerry Davis is a citizen of Georgia); 5 3 (alleging Defendant Robert Allen is a citizen of Georgia).) The Court DISMISSES Plaintiffs' complaint and DIRECTS the Clerk to close this case. Signed by Judge Michael L. Brown on 9/13/2021. (tmf)
September 13, 2021 Civil Case Terminated. (tmf)
