January 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Order of Remand to State Court. Defendant Google LLC has removed this pro se action from Nassau County Supreme Court on the basis of diversity jurisdiction. In order to invoke diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1332, a plaintiff must demonstrate to a reasonable probability that the claim is in excess of the statutory jurisdictional amount of $75,000. Hicks v. Leslie Feely Fine Art, LLC, 2021 WL 982298, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 16, 2021). While we presume that the face of the complaint is a good faith representation of the actual amount in controversy, that presumption may be rebutted by a demonstration to a legal certainty that the plaintiff could not recover the amount alleged.... Suarez v. Mosaic Sales Sols. US Operating Co., LLC, 720 F. App'x 52, 53 (2d Cir. 2018) (citations omitted). In her action, the plaintiff alleges in graphic detail that will not be repeated here that she launched an illegal massage business and sets forth allegations purportedly relating to a defamatory faux website launched against her, an act of revenge against Sex Workers, who reject potential clients; which is illegal practice. DE 1-1. After she decided to quit Sex work to open her own Christian Ministry, which aims to get Sex Workers out of their profession, plaintiff allegedly asked Google to remove the content of said website, which the company purportedly was unable to do. Id. She seeks $50 million in compensation. On the basis of these allegations, the Court finds to a legal certainty and beyond any doubt -- that plaintiff cannot recover damages sufficient to satisfy the jurisdictional minimum. Accordingly, the matter is remanded to the Nassau County Supreme Court, and the Clerk is to close the file. Ordered by Judge Gary R. Brown on 1/11/2022. (Brown, Gary)
