Date Filed Document Text
March 19, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 19 ORDER OF REMAND: The Court concludes that the parties are not diverse. Without complete diversity, this Court does not have subject-matter jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. 1332. Because the Court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction, the jurisdictional basis for removal was improper. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs' Joint Motion for Remand (ECF No. #8 ); REMANDS the action to the 96th District Court of Tarrant County, Texas; DENIES Plaintiffs' request for attorney's fees; and DENIES as moot the Motion to Transfer Venue (ECF No. 4 ). The Court DENIES Plaintiffs' request for attorney's fees and costs for Target's improper removal of this action to federal court. (Ordered by Judge Reed C. O'Connor on 3/19/2021) (mmw) (Additional attachment(s) added on 3/19/2021: #1 Remand Letter) (mmw).
