See ECF No. 13. The Magistrate Judge recommended that Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand (ECF No. 7) should be granted because the named defendants are citizens of Texas. Defendants objected. See Defs.’ Objection, ECF No. 14. The Court has conducted a de novo review of those portions of the proposed findings and recommendation to which an objection was made. Although Defendants removed this action because there is diversity between the parties, defendants are citizens of the forum state. “A civil action otherwise removeable solely on the basis of . . . [diversity] jurisdiction . . . may not be removed if any of the parties in interest properly joined and served as defendants is a citizen of the State in which such action is brought.” 28 U.S.C. § 1441(b)(2). Therefore, the Court OVERRULES Defendants’ objections and ACCEPTS the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge.
