ORDER 

______

The parties agree that the District Court did not have subject matter jurisdiction 

over this state-law breach of contract action because diversity of citizenship never 

existed. Therefore, the District Court lacked the constitutional authority to “proceed at all 

in [this] cause.” Ex parte McCardle, 74 U.S. (7 Wall.) 506, 514 (1868). On consideration 

whereof, it is now hereby

ORDERED and ADJUDGED by this Court that the judgment of the District Court 

entered June 26, 2014, be and the same is hereby VACATED and this case is 

REMANDED with instructions that the case be dismissed without prejudice.

BY THE COURT
