IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

WESTERN DIVISION 

JAMES W. TAYLOR; and 

WANDA JOY TAYLOR PLAINTIFFS 

v. No. 4:16-cv-374-DPM 

CITIFINANCIAL MORTGAGE 

COMPANY, INC 

ORDER 

DEFENDANT 

The Court has a jurisdictional doubt. Krein v. Norris, 250F.3d1184, 1187 

(8th Cir. 2001). The Taylors say they seek only "up to $75,000" in total 

damages; but Citifinancial insists that more than $75,000 is in controversy. 

Compare Ng 2 at 9 with Ng 1at2-3; 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). If the Taylors stipulate 

that they will neither seek nor accept a total recovery exceeding $75,000 

(including attorney's fees, but excluding interest and costs) on all claims, then 

the Court will remand. Any stipulation due by 29 June 2016. No remand 

motion will be needed if the jurisdictional doubt is resolved by the stipulation 

before the end of the month. 

So Ordered.
