MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
J. PHIL GILBERT, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on Magistrate Judge Williams' order for the parties to show cause on or before August 22, 2014, why the Court should not remand this case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction in light of the fact that it appears the addition of defendant Safety Partners, Ltd. destroys complete diversity (Doc. 51). No party has responded to the order to show cause. The Court construes the lack of a response as an admission by all parties who have appeared in this litigation that the addition of Safety Partners, Ltd. destroys the complete diversity required by 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). Accordingly, this Court no longer has subject matter jurisdiction over this case and REMANDS this case to the Circuit Court for the Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447(e).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
