v. ORDER
MARIC MECHANICAL, INC., ALLIED WORLD 21 Civ. 8329 (ER) ASSURANCE COMPANY (U.S.) INC., and
SAFECO INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA,
Defendants.
RAMOS, D.J.:
On September 1, 2021, RCM Technologies, Inc. (“RCM”) brought this action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, for, inter alia, breach of contract and indemnification against Maric Mechanical, Inc. (“Maric”), Allied World Assurance Company (U.S.) Inc. (“Allied”), and Safeco Insurance Company of America (“Safeco”). Doc. 1-1. On October 8, 2021, Allied removed the action to this Court but did not obtain written consent to the removal by Maric and Safeco. See Doc. 1. On November 18, 2021, Maric and Safeco moved the Court to remand the action to state court pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1447(c), on the grounds that they did not consent to removal. Doc. 14. The Second Circuit interprets the removal statute “as requiring that all defendants consent to removal within the statutory third-day period[.]” Pietrangelo v. Alvas Corp.,
686 F.3d 62, 66(2d Cir. 2012). The parties do not dispute that Maric and Safeco do not consent to removal. Moreover, in support of the motion, Maric and Safeco have submitted a signed stipulation executed by all the parties indicating that the motion to remand is uncontested. Doc. 15-3. Accordingly, the motion to remand is granted. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion, Doc. 14, and to remand the case to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. SO ORDERED. Dated: November 19, 2021 New York, New York al oct . Edgardo Ramos, U.S.DJ. 0
