ORDER

THIS MATTER comes before the undersigned on the parties’ consent motion to remand
(Doc. No. 2) this action to state court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447.
On March 15, 2018, this case was filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court
Division of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. On April 20, 2018, Defendant filed a Notice of
Removal of the action to this Court on the basis of diversity jurisdiction. Subsequently, the parties
stipulated to damages in this litigation of no more than $74,999. On May 1, 2018, the parties filed
their consent motion to remand, contending federal jurisdiction is no longer proper as the amount
in controversy no longer exceeds $75,000. 28 U.S.C. § 1332.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED, that the parties’ consent motion to remand (Doc. No. 2)
is GRANTED and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447, this case is REMANDED to the state court where
it was originally filed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
