AYERS, JR., et aL, Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION This matter comes before the Court on Defendants Charles E. Ayers, Jr., Ralph L. Costen, Jr., and Jesse L. Barber's (collectively, the "Defendants") Motion to Dismiss Count Two of Plaintiff J. Irvin Beatley's Complaint (the "Motion to Dismiss"). (ECF No. 6.) Beadey responded and the Defendants replied. (ECF Nos. 10,11.) Accordingly, the matter is ripe for disposition. The Court dispenses with oral argument because the materials before it adequately present the facts and legal contentions, and argument would not aid the decisional process. The Court exercises jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332.' For the reasons that follow, the Court will deny the Motion to Dismiss. (ECF No. 6.) I. Factual and Procedural Background A. Procedural Historv These allegations arise from a June 16, 2017 Settlement Agreement (the "Agreement") between Beatley and the Defendants. Beatley alleges that the Defendants failed to comply with the Agreement, which required the Defendants to "pay Beatley $134,000 on or before July 17, ' "The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil actions where the matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value of $75,000, exclusive of interest and costs, and is between ... citizens of different States," 28 U.S.C. § 1332.
