WESTERN DIVISION

WILLIAM E. SMITH, et al. PLAINTIFFS

VS. 4:13-CV-00626-BRW

DESOTO GATHERING COMPANY, LLC, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

 Defendants removed this action, asserting federal jurisdiction under the Class Action

Fairness Act.1 The class-action portions of this case were severed in an order entered earlier

today.2 Plaintiffs are all Arkansas residents, and Defendants are all Arkansas citizens for

jurisdictional purposes (or were when the case was removed).3 Accordingly, federal jurisdiction

no longer exists over this case and the Clerk of the Court is directed to forthwith REMAND this

case to the Circuit Court of Faulkner County, Arkansas.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 12th day of February, 2015.
