MICHAEL ANTHONY WICKHAM, Plaintiff, v. THOMAS MICHAEL TILLEY, GTG LOGISTICS, INC., d/b/a AMAZON and JOHN DOES 1-5, Defendants.
ORDER REMANDING ACTION TO STATE COURT
MICHAEL P. MILLS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Remand to State Court. This action was originally filed by Plaintiff in the Circuit Court of DeSoto County, Mississippi. Plaintiff's Complaint listed his citizenship in Mississippi, and Defendants Thomas Michael Tilley and GTG Logistics, Inc., d/b/a Amazon are considered citizens of Arkansas and Tennessee, respectively. However, Plaintiff had moved to Tennessee before the filing of the Complaint and he was a citizen of Tennessee at the time the April 4, 2024 Complaint was filed; therefore, the action lacks the diversity of citizenship necessary for federal jurisdiction. The motion is not opposed.
It is, therefore, ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion to Remand to State Court is granted.
