1Opinion of the Court
JOHN R. GIBSON, Circuit Judge:
H&D Tire and Automotive-Hardware, Inc., Beard Plumbing Co., and Jones & Jones, Inc. appeal the district court’s grant of summary judgment to Pitney Bowes Inc. and Pitney Bowes Credit Corp. (collectively, Pitney Bowes). We conclude that the court did not have jurisdiction over this case because the amount in controversy requirement was not satisfied. We therefore vacate the district court’s judgment and instruct it to remand this case to the state court in which it was initially filed.
