WHITEHURST

JUDGMENT
Before the court is a Report and Recommendation [doc. 16] of the Magistrate Judge,
recommending that plaintiffs’ Motion to Remand [doc. 11] be denied and that all claims
against Louisiana Farm Bureau be dismissed on the grounds that that entity is a nominal
party. Plaintiffs have filed no objection to the Report and Recommendation and their time
for doing so has passed. The court has conducted an independent review of the record and
finds that the Report and Recommendation is correct under applicable law. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation [doc. 16] be ADOPTED
and that the Motion to Remand [doc. 11] be DENIED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED,
ADJUDGED, and DECREED that all claims in this matter against defendant Louisiana
Farm Bureau be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
THUS DONE AND SIGNED in Chambers on this 7th day of January, 2021.
