MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
FEIKENS, Chief Judge.
Before me is a motion by defendant Sears, Roebuck & Co. (“Sears”) to retain jurisdiction in a case that was removed from Wayne County Circuit Court. Plaintiffs allege that the case was improvidently removed and should be remanded to State Court. Sears argues that the case was properly removed and that this Court should retain federal jurisdiction. For reasons stated herein, I find that this case was improvidently removed, and that Sears’ motion to retain jurisdiction should therefore be denied.
