October 23, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 7 NOTICE AND ORDER: Defendant Foremost Insurance Company Grand Rapids, Michigan removed this case to this Court on 10/18/2023, alleging subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1332. The #1 Notice of Removal and Plaintiff's Petition (R. Doc. 1-2) adequately alleges the citizenship of the parties, who appear to be diverse, as Plaintiff is alleged to be a Louisiana citizen and Defendant is alleged to be incorporated and have its principal place of business in Michigan. R. Doc. 1, paragraphs 4-5; R. Doc. 1-2, p. 1, intro. In support of amount in controversy, the Notice of Removal relies on the Plaintiff's damages estimate of $77,719.27, plus demands for penalties and fees. R. Doc. 1, para. 6; R. Doc. 1-3. However, while the estimate is attached to the Notice of Removal, it is unclear what, if anything, Defendant has paid on Plaintiff's claim, which information is necessary to determine the amount in controversy, i.e., actually claimed. Accordingly, by no later than 10/30/2023, Defendant shall file a motion for leave to supplement the notice of removal that attaches evidence of what amounts, if any, were paid on Plaintiff's claim. Signed by Magistrate Judge Erin Wilder-Doomes on 1/23/2023. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no hyperlink or PDF document associated with this entry.)(BLR)
