May 5, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 11 ORDER: On April 28, 2023, the court ordered defendant McCray Lumber Company to show cause why the court should not recommend that the district judge remand this case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. (ECF 7.) Now before the court is McCray's Second Motion for Leave to File Amended Notice of Removal (ECF 10), which now satisfies the court that McCray Lumber has sufficiently alleged facts indicating that the parties are completely diverse. Accordingly, the court grants #10 McCray Lumber's Second Motion for Leave to File Amended Notice of Removal and directs McCray Lumber to file its Amended Notice of Removal within three business days. Signed by Magistrate Judge Angel D. Mitchell on 5/5/2023. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no.pdf document associated with this entry.) (bal)
May 4, 2023 Filing 10 SECOND MOTION for Leave to Amend Notice of Removal by Defendants Chandler McCray, Harry C. McCray, III, McCray Lumber Company. (Motion referred to Magistrate Judge Angel D. Mitchell.) (Attachments: #1 Exhibit 1)(Greenfield, Phillip)
May 4, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER: On April 28, 2023, the court ordered defendant McCray Lumber Company to show cause why the court should not recommend that the district judge remand this case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. (ECF 7.) McCray Lumber responded by filing a Motion for Leave to File Amended Notice of Removal (ECF 8) that fixes most of the defective allegations, but it still does not allege sufficient facts to establish complete diversity because it does not specify the state where McCray Lumber's own principal place of business is located. Accordingly, the court denies #8 McCray Lumber's Motion for Leave to File Amended Notice of Removal. As previously ordered (ECF #7 ), McCray Lumber must show cause in writing by May 12, 2023, why the court should not recommend that the district judge remand this case for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Signed by Magistrate Judge Angel D. Mitchell on 5/4/2023. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no.pdf document associated with this entry.) (ht)

April 28, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 7 NOTICE AND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. Because the notice of removal does not allege facts sufficient to establish complete diversity of citizenship, the court orders McCray Lumber to show cause in writing by 5/12/2023, why the court should not recommend that the district judge remand this case for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Any response to this show-cause order must point to factual allegations that, if true, would establish complete diversity of citizenship. Signed by Magistrate Judge Angel D. Mitchell on 4/28/2023.
