OPINION KERN A. REESE, ET AL v. ICF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., L.L.C. RULING JAMES BRADY, District Judge The Court has carefully considered the motion, the record, the law applicable to this action, and the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Christine Noland, dated November 6, 2009 (doc. 29). Plaintiffs have filed an objection, which the Court has considered in conducting a de novo review of the record. The Court finds that the magistrate judge's findings of fact and conclusions of law are all clearly correct and that there is no need to further address Plaintiff's arguments. Specifically, the Court finds that the magistrate judge appropriately pierced the pleadings in undertaking a summary inquiry. See Smallwood v. Illinois Cent. R. Co., 385 F.3d 568, 573 (5th Cir. 2004). Based on this limited inquiry, the magistrate judge found, and the Court agrees that Plaintiffs have no reasonable basis of recovery against the in-state defendants. Thus, the Court hereby approves the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge and adopts it as the Court's opinion herein. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for remand to state court (doc. 22) is DENIED. Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
