NANNETTE JOLIVETTE BROWN, Chief District Judge.
Before the Court is Plaintiff Amanda Ziglar's ("Plaintiff") unopposed "Motion to Remand."1 This case was removed by Defendant Pride Mobility Products Corporation on November 7, 2017, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332 based on complete diversity of citizenship.2 On August 7, 2018, the Court granted Plaintiff's unopposed motion for leave to file an amended complaint to add Georgette Rodriguez, a Louisiana citizen, and Crank Systems, LLC, a Louisiana corporation, as defendants in this matter.3
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447(e), "[i]f after removal the plaintiff seeks to join additional defendants whose joinder would destroy subject matter jurisdiction, the court may deny joinder, or permit joinder and remand the action to the State court."
