LYNN D. COUSINS, JR., Individually and Derivatively as the Co-Trustee of the BETTY L. TURN FAMILY TRUST v. JAMES R. TURN, Individually and as Co-Trustee of the BETTY L. TURN FAMILY TRUST


ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

The court has received and considered the report and recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Zack Hawthorn (Doc. No. 86), which recommends granting Plaintiff Lynn Cousins' Motion to Remand (Doc. No. 22) on the basis that diversity of all parties is not complete, destroying federal subject matter jurisdiction. No objections have been filed to Judge Hawthorn's report and recommendation, and the time for doing so has passed.

It is, therefore, ORDERED that Judge Hawthorn's report and recommendation (Doc. No. 86) is ADOPTED. This case is remanded to the 349th Judicial District of Houston County, Texas. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.

So ORDERED and SIGNED this 31 day of January, 2017.

Ron Clark, United States District Judge
