IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EL DORADO DIVISION

ANTHONY MARCHAN PLAINTIFF

VS. CASE NO. 04-CV-1124

ROGER EARL GANN DEFENDANT

ORDER

Before the Court is a Motion to Remand filed on behalf of the Plaintiff Anthony

Marchan. (Doc. No. 12). Plaintiff asks the Court to remand this action back to state court in

light of the fact that Plaintiff has amended his Complaint limiting the amount of his damages to

less than $75,000. Upon consideration, the Court finds that it lacks jurisdiction of this matter in

that the amount in controversy does not exceed $75,000, the jurisdictional amount necessary for

diversity jurisdiction in federal court. See 28 U.S.C. §1332. Therefore, Plaintiff’s Motion to

Remand should be and hereby is granted. The matter is hereby remanded to the Circuit Court

of Columbia County, Arkansas for a proper adjudication of the issues in the case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 3 day of February, 2006. rd
