DUDLEY H. BOWEN, District Judge.
On December 14, 2015, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals remanded the above-captioned case to this Court for the purpose of determining whether the parties were completely diverse when this suit commenced. (Doc. no 44.) Since that time, Plaintiff has submitted evidence of Defendant's citizenship (Doc. no. 54), and both parties have filed briefs indicating that diversity jurisdiction in fact existed. After reviewing these documents, the Court agrees. Specifically, the Court finds that Plaintiffs were citizens of Georgia and South Carolina while Defendant was a citizen of California, Florida, Idaho, North Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Washington. (Doc. nos. 1, 54.) See Rolling Greens MHP, L.P. v. Comcast Holdings L.L.C., 374 F.3d 1020, 1022 (11th Cir. 2004); Riley v. Merrill Lynch, 292 F.3d 1334, 1338-39 (11th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, the Court directs the Clerk to RETURN the record, as supplemented, to the Eleventh Circuit for further proceedings and to CLOSE this case.
