Date Filed Document Text
July 11, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 19 MEMORANDUM OF DECISION AND ORDER - The Court finds that the joinder of Salcedo and Brookhaven Hospital is permissible under Rule 20 and that joinder is fundamentally fair insofar as there has been no substantial delay; the Defendants have not shown that they will be prejudiced by remand; and the Plaintiffs motivation in joining Salcedo and Brookhaven Hospital in order to consolidate the two actions and promote judicial economy, was neither improper nor fraudulent. On the contrary, the Court fin ds that the Plaintiffs motivation was proper. Accordingly, this Court is therefore bound by the provisions of § 1447(e) and the present action must be, and hereby is, remanded to state court. The motions for dismissal brought by Sechrist and Salcedo are denied as moot without prejudice to renewal in the state court. Signed by Judge Arthur D. Spatt on 7/12/2012. Civil Case Terminated.
