JUDGE TERRY A. DOUGHTY

GEMINI INSURANCE COMPANY

MAG. JUDGE PATRICK J. HANNA
JUDGMENT

In a report and recommendation, the Magistrate Judge concluded that the court lacks
subject-matter jurisdiction over this action and recommended that it be dismissed. (Rec. Doc. 31).
The plaintiff, EnVen Ventures, LLC, objected to the report and recommendation. (Rec. Doc. 32).
In the related case, styled Batiste v. Pharma-Safe Industrial Service, Inc., et al., bearing Civil
Action No. 6:16-cv-00813 on the court’s docket, the court granted leave for the filing of a thirdparty demand by EnVen Ventures, LLC against Gemini Insurance Company, asserting the same
claim that was asserted in this lawsuit. Accordingly, based upon leave being granted for EnVen
Ventures, LLC to file its third-party action against Gemini Insurance Company in Civil Action
No. 6:16-cv-00813 pending in this Court, and without objection from either EnVen Energy
Ventures, LLC or Gemini Insurance Company,
IT IS ORDERED that Gemini Insurance Company's Motion to Change Venue
[Doc. No. 10] is DENIED AS MOOT; and
IT IS FUTHER ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE.
Signed at Monroe, Louisiana on this 28th day of June, 2018.
