After Defendant removed the case to federal court, Plaintiff alleged it should be remanded because the amount in controversy did not exceed $75,000. The Court held that remand is not appropriate unless the Plaintiff can show that, at the time of removal, the amount in controversy did not exceed $75,000. Post-removal documentation regarding the amount in controversy is only accepted to clarify the jurisdiction amount if it was ambiguous. Because a final judgment disposing of certain claims had been previously filed in State court for $1,000,000, Plaintiff’s motion to remand was denied.
