INTERNACIONALES et al.
ORDER
The Court referred a minors’ settlement hearing to United States Magistrate
Judge Christopher dos Santos (Dkt. No. 20). At the hearing, the parties agreed that
Plaintiffs and Defendants are not diverse for purposes of subject matter jurisdiction
(Dkt. No. 29 at 2). In his report and recommendation, Judge dos Santos recommends
that this matter be remanded for want of jurisdiction (see Dkt. No. 29 at 3). Plaintiffs
filed a notice of no objections to the Report (Dkt. No. 30), and Defendants did not file
objections within the 14-day objection period.
Having reviewed the Report and finding no plain error, the Court hereby
ADOPTS the Report (Dkt. No. 29) as the findings and conclusions of the Court.
Accordingly, the Court REMANDS this civil action to the 341st District Court of
Webb County, Texas. The parties are ADMONISHED to the importance of ensuring
accurate representations to the Court. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to CLOSE
this civil action and mail a certified copy of this order to the clerk of the state court.
See 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c).
