Opinion
CIVIL ACTION NO. 20-00404-BAJ-EWD
03-25-2021
RULING AND ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiffs' Motion to Remand (Doc. 21), requesting that this action be returned to the Nineteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, State of Louisiana. On March 4, 2021, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 57) recommending that Plaintiffs' Motion be denied. Plaintiffs object to the Magistrate Judge's recommendation, (Doc. 61), essentially restating the same arguments set forth in their original Motion and related briefing. (See Docs. 21-1, 36, 48).
Having carefully considered Plaintiffs' Motion, Defendants' oppositions, and related filings, the Court APPROVES the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and ADOPTS it as the Court's opinion in this matter.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs' Motion to Remand (Doc. 21) is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is referred back to the Magistrate Judge for a scheduling conference.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this 25th day of March, 2021
