(In Chambers) Order DENYING Plaintiff Murshida Islam’s Motion
to Remand (Dkt. 12)

Plaintiff Murshida Islam moves to remand her employment discrimination case,
alleging the parties are not diverse and the amount in controversy does not exceed
$75,000. The Court finds the motion suitable for disposition without oral argument. See
Fed. R. Civ. P. 78; Local Rule 7-15. The hearing set for February 22, 2016, is removed
from the Court’s calendar. For the reasons stated in the Opposition, Plaintiff’s motion is
denied. 1
IT IS SO ORDERED.

The Court obviously does not rely on Defendant’s argument that the Motion should be denied
because it is procedurally defective. The Court must remand a removed action if it lacks subject
matter jurisdiction even if neither party raises the issue.
