OPINION

Plaintiff Seven Oaks Construction, LLC, originally

filed this lawsuit against defendants Talbot

Construction, Inc. and Travelers Casualty and Surety

Company, Inc. in state court, charging them with unjust

enrichment and breach of contract and asserting that one

or more of them was liable to Seven Oaks due to an

agreement to indemnify contractors and subcontractors in

the event of a default. With Travelers Casualty’s

consent, Talbot Construction removed this lawsuit from

Case 2:11-cv-00140-MHT-WC Document 25 Filed 03/28/12 Page 1 of 2
state to federal court based on diversity-of-citizenship

jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1332, 1441.

This lawsuit is now before the court on Surety

Company’s motion to dismiss. Although given an

opportunity to respond, Seven Oaks has not done so. The

court therefore assumes that Seven Oaks has no objection

to the dismissal of this case against Surety Company.

(If the court’s assumption is incorrect, Seven Oaks

should so inform the court within seven days from the

date of this opinion).

An appropriate judgment will be entered. 

DONE, this the 28th day of March, 2012.
