January 12, 2024 Filing 17 Judge Myong J. Joun: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered re #9 Motion to Remand; and #16 Motion to Expedite. District courts have "original jurisdiction of all civil actions where the matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value of $75,000, exclusive of interest and costs, and is between... citizens of different States[.]" 28 U.S.C. 1332(a); see also Carrozza v. CVS Pharmacy, Inc., 992 F.3d 44, 51 (1st Cir. 2021). Here, Plaintiff James Falvey's Complaint alleges a dispute with damages that exceed $1.5 million, [Doc. No. #1 -1 at 6], and his alleged citizenship in Massachusetts, [id. at 10], differs from the alleged citizenships of Defendants United States Fire Insurance Company, Crum & Forster Holdings Corp., and Blue Star Claims LLC in Delaware, New Jersey, and Arizona, [Doc. No. #1 at 2]. This suffices to demonstrate the Court's federal diversity jurisdiction over this matter, Carrozza, 992 F.3d at 53, which Defendants timely removed from state court, see 28 U.S.C. 1332, 1441, 1446; [Doc. No. #1 ]. Plaintiff's unsupported contentions to the contrary lack merit. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion to Remand, [Doc. No. #9 ], is DENIED, and Plaintiff's Motion to Expedite, [Doc. No. #16 ], is deemed moot. (York, Steve)
