ORDER

HERNDON, District Judge:
On February 20, 2015, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss for lack of
diversity jurisdiction noting that the plaintiff and defendant Bayer Corporation are
both citizens of Indiana. On March 9, 2015, the plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss
her claims against non-diverse defendant Bayer corporation. On March 11, 2015,
the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal without prejudice. Thereafter, the Court
recognized the stipulation of dismissal and closed the action.
Closing the case was in error. The parties only stipulated to the dismissal of
defendants Bayer Corporation and Bayer HealthCare LLC. Accordingly, the Court
directs the Clerk of the Court to re-open the case and to terminate defendants
Bayer Corporation and Bayer HealthCare LLC from the docket. Further, the Court
notes the dismissal of the non-diverse defendant, Bayer Corporation, moots the

motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and the plaintiff’s motion to dismiss
defendant Bayer Corporation.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed this 19th day of March, 2015.
