Plaintiff Ladonna Hill filed this lawsuit against Wal-Mart in state court for injuries she claims

11

she sustained when she slipped and fell at a Wal-Mart store. The first time that Wal-Mart removed

12

this case to federal court, Judge Andrew Gordon remanded it because Wal-Mart failed to

13

demonstrate that the value of this case satisfies the jurisdictional threshold.1 When Hill moved to

14

exclude this case from the state-court arbitration program for cases with a value below $50,000, Wal-

15

Mart again removed it. Plaintiff moves to remand.2 For the reasons I stated on the record at today’s

16

hearing on that motion to remand,

17

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion to Remand [ECF No. 7] is GRANTED; this

18

case is remanded back to the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada, Case No.

19

A-16-747573-C, Dept. No. 32. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE THIS CASE.
