Filing 11
NOTICE AND ORDER: IT IS ORDERED that the #10 Motion for Leave to Amend Notice of Removal filed by Defendant Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System, Grambling State University at Grambling is HEREBY GRANTED, as it was filed in compliance with the Court's 9 Order and properly identifies the federal law giving rise to the Courts federal question jurisdiction in this case. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to docket the Amended Notice of Removal at R. Doc. 10-1 into the record of this matter, which shall become the operative Notice of Removal. Signed by Magistrate Judge Erin Wilder-Doomes on 9/28/2023. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no hyperlink or PDF document associated with this entry.) (BLR)

Filing 9
NOTICE AND ORDER: This Court has the independent obligation to ensure its own subject matter jurisdiction and routinely screens all new filings for jurisdiction. As recognized by Plaintiff Chelsey Lucas (R. Doc. 8, p. 1), the Petition alleges a cause of action for Title IX retaliation, 20 U.S.C. 1681, et seq., arising out of Plaintiff's former employment with Defendant Grambling State University. R. Doc. 1-2, paras. 21-24, 68-74. As such, federal question jurisdiction is apparent from the face of the Petition and existed at the time of removal. However, the basis for that jurisdiction was incorrectly alleged in the Notice of Removal to be a claim raised under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 2000e, et seq. R. Doc. 1, para. 4. Regardless, as jurisdiction existed at the time of removal, Plaintiff's #8 Motion to Remand and Incidental Relief, which seeks remand solely based on the defective allegation noted above, lacks merit and is TERMINATED. However, to cure the technically defective jurisdictional allegation, as permitted under 28 U.S.C. 1653 (and see string cite regarding 1653 amendments at Blakeley v. United Cable Sys., 105 F. Supp. 2d 574, 578-79 (S.D. Miss. 2000)), by no later than September 27, 2023 Defendant Board of Supervisors of the University of Louisiana System, Grambling State University at Grambling shall file a motion for leave, which attaches a comprehensive amended Notice of Removal that correctly alleges the federal law giving rise to federal question jurisdiction in this case. If any amended Notice of Removal fails to cure the defective allegations of subject matter jurisdiction, Plaintiff may reurge a Motion to Remand. Signed by Magistrate Judge Erin Wilder-Doomes on 9/20/2023. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no hyperlink or PDF document associated with this entry.) (BLR)
