v.
DELTA HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC., a California corporation,
Defendant.

ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the Stipulation and Joint Motion f or Remand to
State Court [Docket No. 17].
On November 4, 2016, defendant Delta Health Systems, Inc., (“Delta Health”)
filed a notice of removal claiming that the Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. 1332. Docket No. 1 at 1, ¶ 1. On November 9, 2016, the Court entered
an order to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for lack of subject
matter jurisdiction. Docket No. 8. On November 21, 2016, Delta Health responded to
the order to show cause. Docket No. 10. On November 30, 2016, the Court entered an
additional order to show cause noting that Delta Health had not sufficiently
demonstrated diversity of citizenship for purposes of 28 U.S.C. 1332. Docket No. 16 at
1-2. Delta Health has not responded to that order.
In the motion to remand, the parties state that HealthTrio, LLC (“HealthTrio”)
asserts that one of its members resides in California. Docket No. 17 at 2, ¶ 6. Because

defendant Delta Health is a citizen of California, Docket No. 1 at 2-3, and HealthTrio is
a citizen of at least California, there is no diversity of citizenship in this case. There is
no other basis for subject matter jurisdiction.
For the foregoing reasons, it is
ORDERED that the Stipulation and Joint Motion for Remand to State Court
[Docket No. 17] is GRANTED. It is further
ORDERED that the case shall be remanded to the District Court for the City and
County of Denver, Colorado where it was filed as Case No. 2016CV033531.

DATED December 13, 2016.
