UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
ORLANDO DIVISION
CAROL SPENCE,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 6:16-cv-2235-Orl-22DCI

CITICORP CREDIT SERVICES, INC.,
Defendant.

ORDER
This cause is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 19) filed on
February 3, 2017.
The United States Magistrate Judge has submitted a report recommending that the case
be REMANDED for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Specifically, Defendant has not proven
by a preponderance of the evidence that the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000.00.
After an independent de novo review of the record in this matter, and noting that no
objections were timely filed, the Court agrees entirely with the findings of fact and conclusions
of law in the Report and Recommendation.
Therefore, it is ORDERED as follows:
1.

The Report and Recommendation filed February 3, 2017 (Doc. No. 19), is

ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.
2.

This case is hereby REMANDED to the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial

Circuit, in and for Orange County, Florida (Case No. 16-CA-9982-O).
3.

The Court will leave pending the Motion to Compel Arbitration for the state court

judge to address (Doc. No. 18).
4.

The Clerk is directed to CLOSE the file.

DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on February 22, 2017.
