CIVIL ACTION NO.: 3:13-cv-00678-TLW
ORDER TO REMAND
CASE TO CIRCUIT COURT

This matter is before the Court upon the motion of the parties, by and through
their attorneys, James P. Walsh, attorney for the defendant, and J. David Weeks, attorney
for the plaintiff, seeking an Order from this Court remanding the above-captioned case to
the Court of Common Pleas in the County of Sumter, State of South Carolina, because
the amount in controversy in this case is less than $75,000.00.

Given the parties’

representations that the amount in controversy in this case is less than $75,000.00, this
Court lacks jurisdiction to hear this matter. As a result, the parties’ motion is hereby
GRANTED.
Now, therefore, this matter is remanded to the Court of Common Pleas, County of
Sumter, State of South Carolina.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
