Date Filed Document Text
February 13, 2019 Filing 12 Transfer Letter to the Clerk of the Johnson County Court. Copies of case documents and docket enclosed. (JDC)
February 12, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 11 CLOSED JUDGMENT - The Court having this day made its Order directing the entry of final judgment, now enters FINAL JUDGMENT. This action was dismissed for lack of federal court subject matter jurisdiction and remanded to Johnson County (Indiana) Superior Court No. 4. (Copy to Plaintiff via U.S. Mail) Signed by Judge James R. Sweeney II on 2/12/2019. (JDC)
February 12, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 10 Order Remanding Case to State Court - The Court dismissed the complaint as it pertained to federal constitutional claims, but that dismissal had no effect on any remaining state law claims. Accordingly, this action is dismissed without prejudice in this Court and the matter remanded to the state court. As required by 28 U.S.C. 1447(c), the Clerk shall mail a certified copy of this remand order to the Clerk of the Johnson County Superior Court 4 at the address shown in the distribution list below. The clerk shall close this action on the docket. Final judgment consistent with this Order shall now enter. (Copy to Plaintiff via U.S. Mail). Signed by Judge James R. Sweeney II on 2/12/2019.(JDC)
January 4, 2019 Filing 9 CONSENT to Jurisdiction to US Magistrate Judge by MARK A. LUKINS. (Attachments: #1 Envelope)(JDC)
December 28, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 8 Order Screening and Dismissing Complaint and Allowing Plaintiff Opportunity to File an Amended Complaint - Despite the complaint before the Court containing a blank page, the Court has assessed Mr. Lukins's contentions and found no viable federal constitutional claims. The complaint has been dismissed. The Court will allow Mr. Lukins to file an amended complaint no later than February 4, 2019, if he believes he can state a viable claim under 42 U.S.C. 1983. In submitting an amended complaint, Mr. Lukins must comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a) and plead a short and plain statement of his claims that show entitlement to relief. If an amended complaint is not filed by February 4, 2019, this action shall be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915A. Such a dismissal will have no effect on any potential state law claims contained in the complaint. Because a dismissal on this ground is for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, the action would be then remanded pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1447(c) to the Johnson County Superior Court for further proceedings. (Copy to Plaintiff via U.S. Mail) Signed by Judge James R. Sweeney II on 12/28/2018. (JDC)
