February 26, 2019 Filing 10 Minute Entry for Proceedings held before Judge Susie Morgan: The parties discussed the status of the above-captioned matter. Counsel for Plaintiff shall file on the record evidence that the remaining Defendants have been served. Plaintiff filed a #8 Motion to Remand, arguing this Court does not have diversity subject matter jurisdiction because there is not complete diversity. The Court DENIED Plaintiff's Motion to Remand because jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act ("CAFA") only requires that at least one Plaintiff is diverse from at least one Defendant. Plaintiff is a Louisiana domiciliary. The Notice of Removal states, and counsel for Plaintiff agreed, that Defendant Bill Vinovich is domiciled in Iowa, Defendant Gary Cavaletto is domiciled in California, and Defendant Todd Prukop is domiciled in California. Accordingly, there is minimal diversity as required under CAFA. The parties discussed the pending #6 Motion to Dismiss. In opposition to the Motion to Dismiss, Plaintiff requests leave to amend the Complaint. The Court GRANTED Plaintiff leave to amend the Complaint. Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint by no later than Tuesday, March 12, 2019. If Plaintiff files an amended complaint on or before March 12, 2019, Defendant's Motion to Dismiss will be denied without prejudice as moot.(bwn)
