This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs Motion to Remand Case to Missouri State
Court and Suggestions in Support Thereof (ECF No. 8). This case was removed on March 3,
2015, based upon diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§1332(a), 1441. On March 31 , 2015,
Plaintiff filed her Motion to Remand (ECF No. 8) and a Stipulation to the Amount of Damages
Sought (ECF No. 9), wherein Plaintiff stated he would not "seek or accept a judgment in excess
of $75,000, exclusive of interest and costs." On April 1, 2015, Defendant filed a Consent to
Plaintiffs Motion to Remand (ECF No. 10) based upon Plaintiffs Stipulation to the Amount of
