OPINION AND ORDER

After plaintiff filed this lawsuit for negligence 

against defendant in state court, defendant removed the 

case to federal court. Plaintiff then moved to remand. 

This matter is now before the court on the 

recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge 

that plaintiff’s motion to remand be granted. There 

are no objections to the recommendation. After an 

independent and de novo review of the record, the court 

concludes that the magistrate judge’s recommendation 

should be adopted.
