ORDER RE: JURY DEMAND

On May 8, 2007 the parties appeared for a Case Management Conference. At the

conference, the issue was raised as to whether Defendant, Target Corporation ("Target"), had

properly demanded a jury trial.1

 The court reserved decision on this issue and requested further

briefing. 

Target submitted the following information in support of its jury demand: This action

began in state court and Defendant filed and served its answer in the same.2

 Thereafter, Target

removed the action to this court and filed a jury demand seven days later.

 Because the answer was filed in state court, the jury demand needed to be filed within

ten days of the notice of removal. FED. R. CIV. P. 81(c). As these requirements were met here,

the case is hereby set for jury trial. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 8/6/07
