MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: This case is before the Court on plaintiff's motion to remand to state court (#7), to which defendant filed a response in opposition (#8). No reply was filed. The only issue presented is whether, in this discrimination case under the Missouri Human Rights Act, the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000 so to invoke this Court's diversity jurisdiction. In the motion, as this Court understands it, plaintiff suggests that he is prepared to submit a binding stipul ation by way of affidavit that the amount in controversy will not exceed $75,000. In the event that stipulation is filed, the motion will be granted. That said, defendant correctly maintains that the amount in controversy as pled in the original state-court petition includes not only damages but also attorney's fees. Plaintiff claims that the combined damages and fees are bound to exceed $75,000. Again, however, should plaintiff file a stipulation that the total amount in controve rsy including damages and attorney's fees will not exceed $75,000, the case will be remanded. Plaintiff shall notify the Court on the matter forthwith. So ordered this 27th day of November, 2017. Signed by District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh, Jr on 11/27/2017. (JMC)
