August 13, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 12 ORDER......The above-captioned cases arrived on this Courts docket between April 18 and April 23, 2018. The cases were initially filed in Delaware Superior Court between November 6 and December 1, 2017. Each case was then promptly removed to the District of Delaware. Plaintiffs filed motions to remand back to Delaware Superior Court. The cases were transferred to this Court before the District of Delaware ruled on those remand motions. As explained in Cheung, the above-captioned cases were properly removed to federal court because subject-matter jurisdiction exists. The plaintiffs have failed to timely file an amended complaint or show cause why their complaints should not be dismissed based on the analysis in the May 8 Utts Opinion. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the motions to remand in the above-captioned case are denied. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned cases are dismissed with prejudice. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall enter judgment for the defendants and close the above-captioned cases. (Signed by Judge Denise L. Cote on 8/10/2018) (gr) Transmission to Orders and Judgments Clerk for processing.
