January 12, 2023 Filing 4 MOTION for Leave to File Amended Notice of Removal by Walmart Inc. (Attachments: #1 Proposed Order, #2 Proposed Pleading; Amended Notice of Removal, #3 Exhibit A - Petition for Damages, #4 Exhibit B - POS Walmart)(DeRojas, Isidro)
January 12, 2023 MOTION(S) REFERRED: #4 MOTION for Leave to File Amended Notice of Removal . This motion is now pending before the USMJ. (ELW)
January 9, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 3 NOTICE AND ORDER: IT IS ORDERED that by no later than 1/16/2023, Removing Defendant Walmart Inc. shall file a Motion for Leave to Amend the #1 Notice of Removal, which attaches a proposed, comprehensive Amended Notice of Removal that includes all of Walmart Inc.'s allegations, as revised, supplemented, and/or amended, and which properly alleges, and clarifies contradictory allegations regarding, the citizenship of all currently named, nonfictitious defendants. In the Petition, Plaintiff named the following defendants: Walmart Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. R. Doc. 1-2, 1. In the Notice of Removal, Walmart Inc. alleges that it was "formerly known as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.," the other currently named, nonfictious defendant, which is contradicted by a later allegation that Walmart Inc. was "formerly known as Wal-Mart Louisiana, Inc.," which is not currently named as a defendant. Compare R. Doc. 1, intro. with 12. Regardless, while the citizenship of "Walmart, Inc., formerly known as Wal-Mart Louisiana, Inc." has been adequately alleged (R. Doc. 1, 12, alleging it is a Delaware corporation with an Arkansas principal place of business), the Notice of Removal is unclear as to the citizenship of "Wal-Mart Stores, Inc." The case will be allowed to proceed if Defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.'s citizenship is adequately established under 28 U.S.C. 1332(c), as Plaintiff and Walmart Inc.'s citizenships have been adequately alleged and the amount in controversy appears met. Signed by Magistrate Judge Erin Wilder-Doomes on 1/9/2023. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no hyperlink or PDF document associated with this entry.)(BLR)
