DEFENDANTS

ORDER REMANDING CASE
Pursuant to a Memorandum Opinion issued this day, Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand [4] is
GRANTED. The Court finds removal of this matter is not available on the basis of diversity
jurisdiction. Further, Defendants Jerry and Amy Worsham had no objectively reasonable basis
for removing this matter, and therefore, Plaintiff is entitled to just costs and actual expenses,
including attorney fees, incurred as a result of removal.
This matter is hereby REMANDED to the Chancery Court of Lee County, Mississippi.
Additionally, Plaintiff’s request for costs and expenses is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall file the
appropriate documentation with this Court no later than April 21, 2014, containing an itemized
accounting of its just costs and actual expenses, including attorney fees, incurred as a result of
the removal of this action. Because the Worshams are proceeding pro se, they shall have until
May 5, 2014 to file any objections as to specific itemized costs or amounts requested. If Plaintiff
fails to file its documentation within the time allotted, its request for just costs and actual
expenses, including attorney fees, will be deemed waived.
SO ORDERED on this, the 14th day of April, 2014.
