CIVIL ACTION NO. 08-4057 SECTION M.

ORDER

PETER BEER, District Judge

Before the Court is Plaintiffs' Motion to Remand which is opposed by Defendant, and which came for hearing on September 17, 2008, on the briefs. After consideration of the motion, the briefs and the applicable law, the Court grants the motion.

In Plaintiffs' motion (Paragraph V) it is stipulated that the amount in controversy is less than $75,000 and that they will accept no more than this amount, even if awarded more by the district court below. Thus, the "amount in controversy" does not exceed $75,000, leaving this court without jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332.

Accordingly, the motion is GRANTED, and the case is remanded to the 22^nd Judicial District Court for the Parish of St. Tammany.
