Date Filed Document Text
November 4, 2019 Opinion or Order ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION: The Court has reviewed and adopts in its entirety the Honorable Roanne L. Mann's #5 Report & Recommendation, recommending remand of the action. Defendants filed a partial objection, noting that they are in possession of a police report confirming that Plaintiff was injured as a result of the accident. However, information about Plaintiff's injuries does not suffice to establish the amount in controversy required for federal subject matter jurisdiction. See Valente v. Garrison From Harrison LLC, No. 15-CV-6522 (DLI) (MDG), 2016 WL 126375, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. Jan. 11, 2016). The Court finds that the Report & Recommendation is neither "clearly erroneous" nor "contrary to law." See 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Therefore, as recommended, this action is hereby remanded to New York State Supreme Court, Kings County, under Index No. 518598/2019. Ordered by Judge Pamela K. Chen on 11/4/2019. (Shi, Yi Qing)
