ORDER

V.
NEW JERSEY TRANSIT CORP., et
al.,
Defendants.

KEVIN MCNULTY, U.S.D.J.:
This matter comes before the court on a motion to remand (Dkt. No. 3)
by Plaintiffs Sayeed Al Shehab and Fatima Yasmeen. No opposition to the
motion was filed. United States Magistrate Judge James B. Clark issued a
Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 7), recommending that I grant the
motion to remand. No objections to the Report and Recommendation were filed.
I have reviewed the Plaintiff’s submission, Judge Clark’s Report and
Recommendation, as well as the entire case record and decided the matter
without oral argument pursuant to FED. R. Civ. P. 78.
The only basis for federal jurisdiction over this case was a claim in the
original complaint alleging violations of a federal law, 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983.

However, the Plaintiffs subsequently filed an amended complaint (Dkt. No. 2)
that eliminated the federal claim.
It appearing that there is no longer any basis for federal jurisdiction, and
for the other reasons stated in Judge Clark’s Report and Recommendation

1

IT IS this 16th day of July 2015 ORDERED that the Report and
Recommendation (Dkt. No. 7) is ADOPTED. The Plaintiffs’ motion (Dkt.
No. 3) to remand the matter to the Superior Court of New Jersey is
GRANTED. The Clerk is directed to please TERMINATE the federal case.

KE IN MCNULTY
United States District Judge
