CONSENT ORDER REMANDING THE CASE TO COURT OF COMMON PLEAS FOR WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY
R. BRYAN HARWELL, District Judge.
The matter presented is to this Court upon the agreement of the Defendant, Linda Mendenhall-Cooper, and the Plaintiffs, Quadre Footman and Joelinda Ross, to remand the case to the Court of Common Pleas for Williamsburg County. The action was initially removed to this Court by the Defendant pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1332(a)(1), 1441(a), and 1446, which vest federal district courts with original jurisdiction over civil actions where the matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value of $75,000.00, exclusive of interest and costs, and is between citizens of different States. However, this Court is informed that the Plaintiffs have now filed an Amended Complaint in the Court of Common Pleas for Williamsburg County seeking damages and a judgment for an amount not to exceed $74,999.99. Therefore, the amount in controversy, exclusive of interest and costs, no longer satisfies the amount-in-controversy criterion of 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a) for this Court to retain jurisdiction. The parties, as acknowledged by the signatures of their respective counsel, agree to remand the case to the Court of Common Pleas for Williamsburg County.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is hereby remanded to the Court of Common Pleas for Williamsburg County.
