(IN CHAMBERS) Order Remanding Action to State Court

On June 15, 2015, the Court ordered the parties to provide briefing regarding whether or not this
case should be remanded for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On June 24, 2015, the parties timely
filed their briefs.
Upon review and consideration of the parties’ filings, the Court finds that Defendant has not
satisfied its burden of showing by a preponderance of the evidence that the amount in controversy is
greater than $75,000. Plaintiff claims only $7,506 in economic damages. While Plaintiff also seeks
general and punitive damages, Defendant has failed to provide any evidence to counter the speculative
nature of the remaining damages claim.
Based on the foregoing, the Court remands the action to state court for all further proceedings.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
