Order to Show Cause
Thu 04/10 10:30 AM
TEXT ORDER: In paragraph four of Defendant's 9 Reply to Court's Standing Order on Removed Cases, one of her bases for thinking "the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000.00" is Plaintiff's refusal to "admit that the amount in controversy did not exceed $75,000 and that Plaintiff would at no time seek to recover an amount in excess of $75,000." But, this Court has previously held "[a] plaintiff's refusal to stipulate to maximum damages does not establish the claim exceeds $75,000. At best, it provides a tenuous and hypothetical inference." Legg v. Peterbilt of Atlanta, LLC, No. 0:23-cv-4534-MGL, 2024 WL 1679399, at *3 (D.S.C. April 18, 2024) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). Therefore, not later than April 17, 2025, Defendant shall file a reply to this Order showing cause why this case should not be remanded to state court for failure to satisfy the jurisdictional amount requirement. IT IS SO ORDERED. (Show Cause Response due by 4/17/2025) Signed by Honorable Mary Geiger Lewis on 4/10/2025. (cbru, ) |

Plaintiff's counsel shall, in turn, provide a copy of this Order to Plaintiff immediately upon receipt. IT IS SO ORDERED.
