ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO AMEND COMPLAINT and DENYING MOTION TO REMAND
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Amend [Dkt. #8] and his corresponding Motion to Remand this matter to State court.[Dkt. #9]. Plaintiff seeks to revise his complaint to emphasize his state law claims. The Motion to Amend [Dkt. #8] is GRANTED.
The Amended Complaint should be filed within SEVEN days of this Order. The Proposed Amended Complaint continues to assert claims under federal law, specifically the 4th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution, and claims for relief, damages, and attorneys' fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1988. So long as the Complaint contains federal causes of action, this court has "federal question" jurisdiction over it. The Motion to REMAND [Dkt. #9] is therefore DENIED.
