MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
WEXLER, District Judge.
Plaintiffs Edward and Catherine Kirkland brought this civil action against defendant American Title Insurance Company (“ATICO”) in the state court. Defendant removed this action to federal court based on diversity, and now moves pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b) to dismiss the action. In addition, plaintiffs seek to join a non-diverse party and thereby defeat the jurisdiction of this Court. For the reasons set forth below, plaintiffs’ motion to join additional parties is denied, and defendant’s motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint is granted.
