MARIA J. VALLEJO, ET AL.
CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS
ALL WAYS AUTO TRANSPORT,
ET AL.
NO.: 19-721-BAJ-SDJ
RULING AND ORDER
Before the Court is the United States Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation (Doc. 22), proposed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The
Report and Recommendation addresses Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to File First
Supplemental and Amended Petition (Doc. 12). No opposition to the Motion has
been filed. Plaintiffs, citizens of Texas, seek to add “Milford Casualty Insurance
Company (formerly known as ‘Milwaukee Casualty Insurance Company’,)” domiciled
in Delaware and a citizen of Texas, as a Defendant. See (Doc. 12). The Magistrate
Judge recommended that the unopposed Motion be granted (Doc. 22, at p. 2). The
Magistrate Judge further recommended that the matter be referred to the 18th
Judicial District Court for the Parish of West Baton Rouge because adding Milford as
a Defendant will destroy complete diversity among the parties. Id.
The Report and Recommendation notified the parties that, pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), they had fourteen days from the date they received the Report
and Recommendation to file written objections to the proposed findings of fact,
