MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER NOTICING DEFICIENCIES: The notice of removal and the state court petition attached to it fail to show that there was federal subject-matter jurisdiction at the time Servbank removed this lawsuit. In cases invoking jurisdiction under Section 1332, each plaintiff's citizenship must be diverse from each defendant's citizenship, and the amount in controversy must exceed $75,000. The defendant can meet that burden in one of two ways: (1) by establishing that it is 'facially apparent' that the claims are likely to exceed $75,000, or (2) by setting forth the facts in controversy that support a finding of the requisite amount. A second defect seems apparent with this removal: that its untimely to the extent that Servbank was served on 10/11/2024, but did not remove this case until 11/13/2024. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge David L. Horan on 11/14/2024) (agc)
