9 9 2 pgs order Order Wed 02/19 11:55 AM
ORDER re:5 Certificate of Service Other, filed by The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc., Massachusetts Bay Insurance Company. On February 13, 2025, Defendants filed a notice of removal of this action from the Supreme Court of New York, New York County, asserting removal was proper on the basis of diversity jurisdiction. See ECF No. 1 5. Removal jurisdiction exists, however, only if the action is one over which the federal court would have original jurisdiction, see 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a), and diversity jurisdiction extends only to cases in which there is complete diversity of citizenship among the parties and an amount in controversy exceeding $75,000, see 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). As further stated in this Order, Accordingly, no later than February 25, 2025, Defendants shall amend their Notice of Removal to properly allege Plaintiffs citizenship. If, by that date, Defendants are unable to amend their Notice of Removal to truthfully allege complete diversity of citizenship, then the action will be remanded to the Supreme Court of New York, New York County, without further notice to either party. Finally Defendants are directed to, within two business days of this Order, serve on Plaintiff a copy of this Order and to file proof of such service on the docket. Counsel for Plaintiff is directed to file a notice of appearance on the docket within two business days of such service. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 2/18/2025) (ar)
