September 28, 2022 Opinion or Order ORDER: On 9/26/2022 the Court ordered defendant to show cause why this case should not be remanded to state court for failure to show a reasonable probability that the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. Plaintiff's subsequent motion to remand at #4 raises the same argument, and also asserts that defendant has not met its burden with respect to the complete diversity of the parties. Defendant is directed to address both arguments in its response due 10/10/2022. Ordered by Judge Rachel P. Kovner on 9/28/2022. (de Carvalho, Simon)
September 27, 2022 Filing 7 Letter from Terrance Dixon to Judge Kovner dated 9/27/2022 re: case. (Herrera, Isaiah)
September 27, 2022 Filing 4 Emergency MOTION to Remand by Terrance Dixon. (Herrera, Isaiah)
September 26, 2022 Opinion or Order ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: Defendant's notice of removal asserts diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1332(a). As the party asserting federal jurisdiction, defendant bears the burden of establishing jurisdiction by "proving that it appears to a 'reasonable probability' that the claim is in excess of [$75,000]." United Food & Commercial Workers Union v. CenterMark Properties Meriden Square, Inc., 30 F.3d 298, 303-04 (2d Cir. 1994). The notice of removal acknowledges that plaintiff's complaint does not on its face seek over $75,000 in damages. See Not. of Removal 12. But defendant asserts that plaintiff actually seeks over $114,000 in damages, comprised of $14,000 in compensatory damages, $50,000 in punitive damages, and $50,000 in treble damages, interest, costs, and fees. Ibid. Plaintiff's complaint, however, does not mention treble damages. See United Food & Commercial Workers Union v. Centermark Props. Meriden Square, Inc., 30 F.3d 298, 305 (2d Cir. 1994). And even if it did, plaintiff's complaint brings claims of breach of fiduciary duty, deceptive business practices, fraud, and abuse of process. None of these state-law claims appear to support an award of treble damages. See Brown v. New York State Supreme Court for the Second Judicial District, 680 F.Supp.2d 424, 429 (E.D.N.Y. 2010). Accordingly, defendant is ordered to show cause by 10/10/22 why the case should not be remanded to state court for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Ordered by Judge Rachel P. Kovner on 9/26/2022.
