ORDER 
 Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Renewed Motion for Remand [Doc. No. 27], to which 
Defendant did not respond. “Any motion that is not opposed within 21 days may, in the 
discretion of the court, be deemed confessed.” LCvR7.1(g). The Court previously granted 
Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to File First Amended Complaint [Doc. No. 19], allowing 
Plaintiff to join non-diverse Defendants Michael Pruitt and Ezra Engineering, PLLC [Doc. 
No. 24]. In its Order, the Court indicated that upon Plaintiff filing its First Amended 
Complaint, it would remand the case to state court because diversity jurisdiction would be 
destroyed. See Gibson v. Welch, No. CIV-17-1189-M, 2018 WL 2601178, at *3 n.2 (W.D. 
Okla. Apr. 10, 2018). 
The joinder of the non-diverse Defendants deprives this Court of subject matter 
jurisdiction over the matter. Accordingly, this matter is REMANDED to the District Court 
of Oklahoma County.
