ORDER1
SHERIPOLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Stericycle, Inc.'s Unopposed Motion to Voluntarily Remand (Doc. #6) filed on March 2, 2016.
For nearly two years, Plaintiff worked as a plant operator for Defendant. (Doc. #2). On August 8, 2015, he suffered an on-the-job-injury for which he pursued a worker's compensation claim. (Doc. #2 at ¶¶ 10-11). Approximately six months later, Defendant fired him. (Doc. #2 at ¶ 15). On January 15, 2016, Plaintiff commenced this action in the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in and for Lee County, Florida, alleging that Defendant fired him because of his workers' compensation claim in violation of Florida Statute § 440.205. (Doc. #2). Defendant then timely removed this case to this Court citing diversity jurisdiction as the basis for the removal. (Doc. #1).
Defendant now advises that the parties have agreed that this case should be remanded to state court, and the Court agrees. The Court, therefore, remands this case to the state court where it was originally filed.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
(1) Defendant Stericycle, Inc.'s Unopposed Motion to Voluntarily Remand (Doc. #6) is GRANTED. This case is REMANDED to the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in and for Lee County, Florida.
(2) The Clerk is DIRECTED to transmit a certified copy of this Order to the Clerk of the Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in and for Lee County, Florida.
(3) The Clerk is DIRECTED to close this case, terminate any scheduled hearings and deadlines, and deny any pending motions as moot.
DONE and ORDERED.
