ORDER
_________
On April 9, 2018, the Court ordered Defendants “to provide sufficient evidence . . .
that the jurisdictional amount is in controversy.” (Doc. no. 8, p. 3.) Defendants responded
by submitting, inter alia, Plaintiff’s medical bills. (See doc. no. 9.) The medical bills
provided exceed $75,000.00. (Doc. no. 9-3.) Defendants’ response provides sufficient
evidence to demonstrate that the jurisdictional amount is in controversy. Thus, the Court
finds that it has subject matter jurisdiction over the case at this time, and the case shall
proceed.
SO ORDERED this 18th day of April, 2018, at Augusta, Georgia.
