MARIA SALAZAR v. MACYS RETAIL HOLDINGS, LLC
Present The Honorable R. GARY KLAUSNER, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) Order to Show Cause re Jurisdiction
On June 13, 2024, Maria Salazar (“Plaintiff”) filed a personal injury action against Macys Retail Holdings, LLC and Schindler Elevator Corp. (collectively, “Defendants”), alleging a negligence and premises liability. On August 5, 2024, Macys removed the action on the ground of diversity jurisdiction. However, in its notice, Macys summarily states that amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. The Court hereby orders Macys to show cause in writing why this action should not be remanded to state court. An adequate response must include facts that establish by a preponderance of the evidence that the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. Macys' response is limited to 5 pages in length, and due no later than September 12, 2024.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
