Echols v. OMNI MEDICAL GROUP, INC.

OPINION AND ORDER

GREGORY K. FRIZZELL, District Judge.

This matter comes before the court on plaintiffs Motion to Remand (Dkt. #23) and defendants’ Motion for Leave to File Supplemental Brief in Opposition to Plaintiffs Motion to Remand. (Dkt. # 29). The court denies the request to file a supplemental brief because additional briefing is unnecessary, and concludes that defendant OMNI Medical Group (“OMNI”) should not be severed to perfect diversity jurisdiction. Because OMNI remains part of the suit, there is not complete diversity between the parties, and the case must be remanded.
