MARINA PENA-NEVARRO v. JULIE NGUYEN, ET AL.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT
BRIAN A. JACKSON, JUDGE
Before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion To Remand (Doc. 32), which seeks to return this personal injury (car crash) action back to the Nineteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, Louisiana, due to Defendants failure to establish that the amount in controversy likely meets or exceeds the jurisdictional minimum set forth at 28 U.S.C. § 1332. The Magistrate Judge has now issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 39, the “Report”), recommending that Plaintiff's Motion be granted. Defendants' deadline to object to the Report has passed, without any objection from Defendants.
Having carefully considered Plaintiff's Motion, the notice of removal, and related filings, the Court APPROVES the Report and ADOPTS it as the Court's opinion in this matter.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion To Remand (Doc. 32) be and is hereby GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that this action be and is hereby REMANDED immediately to the Nineteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Consistent with the relief set forth herein, the Clerk of Court shall TERMINATE and CLOSE the above-captioned action.
