Villalba v. Sharecare, Inc.
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA FORT MYERS DIVISION
TRACEY VILLALBA,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No.: 2:20-cv-106-FtM-38NPM
SHARECARE, INC.,
Defendant. / ORDER1 Before the Court is Defendant’s Supplement to Notice of Removal and Response to Order to Show Cause. (Doc. 6). The Court ordered Defendant to show cause why this case should not be remanded for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. (Doc. 5). Specifically, Defendant’s Notice of Removal (Doc. 1) did not establish an amount in controversy over $75,000. In its Supplement, Defendant provides detailed calculations of Plaintiff’s claims for back and front pay, along with supporting argument related to the compensatory damages and attorney’s fees sought. These figures buttress the Notice of Removal, which provided Plaintiff’s post-suit demand letter for an amount over $75,000. In short, Defendant met its burden to show the amount in controversy “more likely than not exceeds the jurisdictional requirement.” Roe v. Michelin N. Am., Inc.,
613 F.3d 1058, 1061(11th Cir. 2010) (alteration accepted and citation omitted). Because the Court is satisfied on subject-matter jurisdiction, it will take no further action on its Order.
