ORDER REMANDING this case to state court. Signed by District Judge Carlton W. Reeves on 3/29/2018. (cr)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
NORTHERN DIVISION
911 RESTORATION, LLC
V.

PLAINTIFF
CAUSE NO. 3:18-CV-00191-CWR-FKB

WHITNEY WHITE WILSON

DEFENDANT

ORDER REMANDING TO STATE COURT
911 Restoration has removed this lawsuit to federal court on two jurisdictional grounds:
federal question and diversity.1 Neither ground is fertile. Federal question jurisdiction is allegedly
founded on a counter-claim, which “does not establish arising under jurisdiction.”2 Diversity
jurisdiction is allegedly founded on a dispute regarding $20,488.50 exclusive of costs and interest,3
far below the $75,000 statutory threshold.4 This lawsuit is therefore REMANDED to Madison
County Circuit Court.
SO ORDERED, this the 29th day of March, 2018.
