Case No. 08-0350 SC

ORDER DENYING

DEFENDANT'S OBJECTION

TO NOTICE OF JURY

TRIAL REQUEST

This matter comes before the Court on Defendant JP Morgan

Chase Bank's Objection to Notice of Jury Trial Request. See

Docket No. 16. Defendant argues that Plaintiff's request for a

jury trial is untimely. Plaintiff, however, had requested a jury

Docket No. 1. As Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 81(c)(3)(A)

unambiguously states, "A party who, before removal, expressly

demanded a jury trial in accordance with state law need not renew

the demand after removal." Defendant's contrary interpretation of

this Rule is, to say the least, puzzling. 

The Court also encourages Defendant to familiarize itself

"request for a court order must be made by motion." An objection
