MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This slip-and-fall case matter is before the Court on the unopposed motion of
Defendant Bluegrass Lawncare of St. Louis, L.L.C., (“Bluegrass”) to remand the case to
the state Court in which it was filed. The case was removed from state court on August
30, 2012, by the then Defendant, a Delaware corporation with its principal place of
business in Wisconsin. Another Defendant had previously been dismissed. Thereafter,
Bluegrass, a Missouri entity, was added to the complaint by Plaintiff, a Missouri resident,
and the Delaware corporation was dismissed from the lawsuit.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447(e), if “after removal the plaintiff seeks to join
additional defendants whose joinder would destroy subject matter jurisdiction, the court
may . . . permit joinder and remand the action to the State court.” Plaintiff has not filed
an objection to the motion to remand within the time permitted.

Upon review of the record,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the unopposed motion of Defendant Bluegrass
Lawncare of St. Louis, L.L.C., to remand this case to the state court to which it was filed
is GRANTED. (Doc. No. 26.)
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk’s Office shall take all necessary
steps to remand this case to the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri.
