ORDER

SUSAN O. HICKEY, District Judge.

Before the Court is Defendant CHRISTUS St. Michael Health Systems' ("CHRISTUS") Motion to Dismiss Due to Lack of Personal Jurisdiction. (ECF No. 4). Plaintiff Ronita Miller filed a response. (ECF No. 9).

On June 7, 2016, Plaintiff filed this medical malpractice case in the circuit court of Miller County, Arkansas. On August 3, 2016, CHRISTUS filed the present motion, asking the state court to dismiss the case due to lack of personal jurisdiction. On August 5, 2016, Defendant Smiths Medical ("Smiths") removed this action to the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, Texarkana Division. Upon removal, the present motion carried over to the Court's docket, and Plaintiff responded to the motion on August 26, 2016. (ECF No. 9).

On October 10, 2016, CHRISTUS filed a second motion to dismiss, styled "Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction and Improper Venue, or to Transfer Venue," in which it asserts a similar argument regarding personal jurisdiction, as well as an argument on venue. (ECF No. 14). The Court finds CHRISTUS's first motion to dismiss to be moot, as its arguments on personal jurisdiction rely predominately on state authority, and CHRISTUS has filed a second motion to dismiss based on federal authority.

For the reasons stated above, the Court finds that CHRISTUS's Motion to Dismiss Due to Lack of Personal Jurisdiction (ECF No. 4) is hereby DENIED AS MOOT. The Court will issue a separate order on CHRISTUS's second motion to dismiss (ECF No. 14) at a later date.2

IT IS SO ORDERED.
