IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Senior District Judge Richard P. Matsch
Civil Action No. 15-cv-00138-RPM
LEE E. LINDBLAD and
RUBY H. LINDBLAD as trustees of THE LINDBLAD FAMILY TRUST, dated
February 28, 2002, aka Lee Lindblad Family Trust OTD
aka Lee Lindblad Family Trust DTD 2/28/02,

ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA, and
NORTH AMERICAN COMPANY FOR LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE,
Defendants.
_____________________________________________________________________
ORDER FOR REMAND
_____________________________________________________________________
On February 25, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a Motion to Permit Joinder and to
Remand to State Court [Doc. 19]. The plaintiffs have submitted an amended complaint,
adding Roberta Joyce Boldon as a defendant and the amended complaint states a
viable claim against that defendant, a Colorado citizen. Because the amended
complaint adds a Colorado defendant, there is no longer diversity jurisdiction, the basis
for removal in this civil action. It is now
ORDERED that this civil action is remanded to the District Court, Weld County,
State of Colorado.
DATED: March 9, 2015
BY THE COURT:
s/Richard P. Matsch
