(In Chambers) Order re: Motion to Remand Case (Dkt. 39)

On April 13, 2015, Plaintiff Kristin Nicholas (“Plaintiff”) filed the above-captioned Motion.
(Dkt. 39.) Defendants Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,1 Johnson & Johnson, and Janssen Research and
Development, LLC2 (collectively, the “Pharmaceutical Defendants”) filed an Opposition, (Dkt. 40), but
Defendants Garfield Beach CVS, LLC3 and Elie Gindi, MD did not. The Parties have now submitted a
Stipulation to dismiss the Pharmaceutical Defendants pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
41(a)(1), (Dkt. 46), and the Pharmaceutical Defendants have withdrawn their Opposition. (Dkt. 43.)
We deem the remaining Defendants to having consented to the granting of the Motion. See L.R. 7-12
(“The failure to file any required paper, or the failure to file it within the deadline, may be deemed
consent to the granting or denial of the motion.”). Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand is hereby GRANTED.
This case is REMANDED to the state court from which it was removed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
