PRICE J. HALL,

Plaintiff,

 v.

GRANCARE, LLC dba VALE HEALTHCARE

CENTER; MARINER HEALTH CARE

MANAGEMENT COMPANY; MARINER

HEALTH CARE, INC.; FAS, LLC; REMY

RHODES, and DOES 100,

Defendants. /

No. 15-2201 MMC

ORDER DENYING AS MOOT MOTION

TO REMAND; VACATING HEARING

Before the Court is plaintiff Price J. Hall’s (“Hall”) Motion to Remand. The motion

was filed June 11, 2015. Thereafter, on July 20, 2015, the Court granted defendants

GranCare, LLC d/b/a Vale Healthcare Center, Mariner Health Care Management Company,

Mariner Health Care, Inc., and Remy Rhodes (collectively, “Removing Defendants”) leave

to amend their notice of removal. On July 22, 2015, Removing Defendants filed their

Amended Notice of Removal, in which Removing Defendants no longer rely on fraudulent

joinder to demonstrate diversity jurisdiction and instead assert such jurisdiction exists

based on Hall’s recent change of domicile. As Hall’s motion to remand is based exclusively

on the argument that there is no fraudulent joinder, such motion is hereby DENIED as

moot. 

In light of the above, the hearing scheduled for August 14, 2015, is hereby

VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 28, 2015
