ORDER

This matter comes before the court on the plaintiff’s Motion to Amend (Filing No. 21)
and Motion for Remand (Filing No. 11). The plaintiff notes the defendants oppose the
motion to amend. Additionally, the plaintiff contends the motion to amend, which affects
the identity of the defendants, is relevant to the arguments raised in the motion for remand.
Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED:
1.

The defendants shall have to on or before October 10, 2012, to respond to

the plaintiff’s Motion to Amend (Filing No. 21).
2.

The plaintiff shall have to on or before October 17, 2012, to file a reply.

3.

The parties’ briefs should also address the affect of the proposed amendment

on the Motion for Remand (Filing No. 11) and the applicability of 28 U.S.C. § 1332(c)(1)
to the insurers in this case.
DATED this 27th day of September, 2012.
BY THE COURT:
