ORDER
On May 8, 2014, the Plaintiffs and the City of Raleigh, the parties who have appeared in
this action, filed a joint motion to remand. The claim was originally removed to this Court based
on federal questions raised by the complaint. The amended complaint filed by the Plaintiffs
removed all federal claim and only State law negligence claims remain in the case. Although
remand is not mandatory, the case is at an early stage, federal claims no longer predominate, no
scheduling order has been entered, and discovery has not yet begun. Remand is appropriate here.
It is, therefore, ORDERED that this case in its entirety is remanded to the Superior Court
of Wake County, North Carolina.
This the _________ day of ________________, 2014.
9th
May
