CASE NO. 2:15-CV-837-WKW

 

ORDER

On July 8, 2016, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation (Doc. # 19) to 

which Plaintiff timely filed objections (Doc. # 22). The court has conducted an 

independent and de novo review of those portions of the Recommendation to which 

objections are made, see 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). In the Recommendation, the 

Magistrate Judge determined that Defendant properly removed this action from state 

court based on diversity jurisdiction. Plaintiff’s objections do not address the 

propriety of removal or the finding that the court has diversity jurisdiction. The 

court concludes that the objections are without merit and that the Magistrate Judge’s 

Recommendation is due to be adopted.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:

(1) Plaintiff’s objections (Doc. # 22) are OVERRULED;

(2) The Recommendation (Doc. # 19) is ADOPTED; and

DONE this 25th day of July, 2016.
