July 25, 2022 MOTION(S) REFERRED: #4 MOTION for Leave to File Supplemental Notice of Removal . This motion is now pending before the USMJ. (JEG)
July 22, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 3 SCHEDULING CONFERENCE ORDER: Scheduling Conference set for 11/10/2022 at 10:00 AM in chambers before Magistrate Judge Erin Wilder-Doomes. Status Report due by 10/27/2022. Signed by Magistrate Judge Erin Wilder-Doomes on 7/22/2022. (BLR)
July 22, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 2 NOTICE AND ORDER: In support of amount in controversy, the #1 Notice of Removal references a pre-removal email in which counsel for Plaintiff affirmatively states that Plaintiff's damages exceed $75,000. By no later than July 29, 2022 Defendant shall file a motion to supplement the #1 Notice of Removal to include the email as an exhibit. Because it is not facially apparent from the Petition that Plaintiff's damages likely exceed $75,000, exclusive of interests and costs, Defendant must meet that burden by a preponderance of the evidence. While "summary judgment-type evidence" can be considered in support of removal (see, Manguno v. Prudential Prop. and Cas. Ins. Co., 276 F.3d 720, 723 (5th Cir. 2002) (citations omitted)), counsel's arguments or statements in briefs are not "summary judgment-type evidence." Signed by Magistrate Judge Erin Wilder-Doomes on 7/22/2022. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no hyperlink or PDF document associated with this entry.)(BLR)
