This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge F.A.Gossett recommending that this matter be remanded to the District Court for Douglas County, Nebraska, on the court's own motion, for lack of jurisdiction. (Filing No. 37). The recommendation is based on Judge Gossett's conclusion that the case was improperly removed to federal court by the Third-Party Defendant.

Having reviewed the record and having considered the Magistrate Judge's recommendation, de novo, I conclude that Judge Gossett's Report and Recommendation should be adopted, and the case should be remanded to the District Court for Douglas County, Nebraska.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED: 1. 2. 3. The Report and Recommendation (Filing No. 37) is adopted in its entirety; All pending motions (Filing Nos. 18 and 36) are denied as moot; This matter is remanded to the District Court for Douglas County, Nebraska; and 4.
