UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

HARRISON DIVISION

AGERT LEE McBEE PLAINTIFF

vs. Case No. 06-3006

ALLSTATE INDEMNITY COMPANY DEFENDANT

O R D E R

On this 30th day of March, 2006, comes on to be considered

plaintiff’s Petition to Remand (Doc. 11) and defendant’s Response

(Doc. 14). The Court, being well and sufficiently advised, finds

and orders as follows:

1. Plaintiff initiated this action in state court, alleging

that defendant issued plaintiff an insurance policy providing

coverage in the amount of $75,345.00, and that defendant was in

breach of contract for refusing to pay plaintiff’s claim under the

policy. (Doc. 1 Ex. A.)

2. Defendant removed the action to this court on the basis

of diversity jurisdiction. (Doc. 1.) 

3. Plaintiff thereafter amended his complaint to clarify

that his total claim, including costs, penalties, and attorney’s

fees, does not exceed the diversity jurisdictional limit. (Doc.

10.) Plaintiff now moves to remand this case for lack of federal

jurisdiction. (Doc. 11.) Defendant responds that it consents to

the remand. (Doc. 14).

4. Based on the foregoing, plaintiff’s Petition to Remand

(Doc. 11) is GRANTED and this case is hereby REMANDED to the

Circuit Court of Baxter County, Arkansas.
