UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD BROOKS an individual,

Plaintiff,

v.

ARAMARK SERVICES, INC, a 

Delaware Corporation, DOES 1 through

20 inclusive,

Defendants.

Case No.: 3:18-cv-02148-CAB-(NLS)

ORDER OF REMAND

[Doc. No. 3]

On September 14, 2018, Defendant Aramark Services, Inc. removed this case from 

the San Diego County Superior Court, on diversity of citizenship grounds claiming the 

action was between citizens of different states and the matter in controversy exceeded the 

aggregate sum of $75,000, exclusive of interest of interest and costs pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1441 (a)-(b). [Doc. No. 1 ¶ 7.]

Subsequently, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Remand to State Court because “the 

matter no longer meets the minimum jurisdictional requirements for a diversity removal to 

Federal Court.” [Doc. No. 3 at 2.] The motion states that Plaintiff has stipulated that the 

joint values of his case does not exceed $75,000 and that he will not seek to recover any 

judgment in excess of $75,000. [Id.]

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the joint motion [Doc. No. 3] and hereby 

REMANDS this action back to State Court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See 28 

U.S.C. § 1447(c) (“[i]f at any time before final judgment it appears that the district court 

lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the case shall be remanded.”). The Clerk of the Court 

shall CLOSE the case.

It is SO ORDERED.
