Date Filed Document Text
May 19, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ORDER re #7 Amended Notice of Removal. Federal district courts have limited jurisdiction and "may not exercise jurisdiction absent a statutory basis." Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. v. Jackson, 139 S. Ct. 1743, 1746 (2019). "The Court may raise the lack of subject matter jurisdiction and remand a removal case sua sponte." Papa v. Coraopolis Borough, No. 2:20-cv-1585-NR, 2020 WL 7424979, at *1 (W.D. Pa. Dec. 18, 2020). Based on a review of Defendant MILESBURG PROPERTIES, LLC's and Defendant NIAGARA BOTTLING, LLC's #7 Amended Notice of Removal, there appears to be several questions as to whether this Court has diversity jurisdiction (ECF No. 7), and a full briefing on the issue would assist the Court in resolving these issues. However, not all parties have been served. Thus, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that a briefing schedule will be scheduled after all defendants have been served, and it is FURTHER ORDERED that deadlines for any responsive pleadings are held in abeyance pending resolution of the issue of the Court's subject matter jurisdiction. Signed by Magistrate Judge Patricia L. Dodge on 5/19/2023. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (mqe)
