ORDER
On February 2, 2026, the Court issued an Order requiring Defendant Oklahoma
Gas and Electric Company to file an amended notice of removal within seven days
establishing proper grounds for removal. [Doc. No. 6 at 1]. The Court stated that “[t]he
Notice of Removal does not, on its face, offer any reason why the local-defendant rule
does not apply in this case.” [Id. at 2]. The Court advised Defendant that failure to file an
amended notice of removal within the deadline would result in remand. [Id. at 1].
Defendant has not filed an amended notice of removal.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441(b)(2), the Court finds that it lacks removal
jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Court REMANDS the action under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) to
the District Court of Noble County, State of Oklahoma, for further proceedings. Each
side shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and expenses related to the removal and
remand.
