On January 21, 2020, Mieshia Marie Jackson (“Plaintiff”), on behalf of herself and all

initial pleading stating the claim for relief; (B) 21 days after being served with the summons for 

an initial pleading on file at the time of service; or (C) 7 days after the notice of removal is 

filed.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 81(c)(2).”
