Camsoft Data Systems, Inc. v. Southern Electronics Supply, Inc. et al, 3:09-cv-01047, No. 539 (M.D.La. Feb. 5, 2015)
Motion for Attorney FeesDenied
While its appeals were pending, Camsoft filed an amended complaint asserting claims under several federal statutes.
Those remaining defendants are: Southern Electronics Supply, Inc., Active Solutions LLC, Brian Fitzpatrick, Henry J. Burkhardt, Ignace A. Perrin III, CIBER, Inc., Dell Inc., Dell Marking, L.P., Steve Renecker, Bill Ridge, Heather Smith, and Mark Kurt.
Courts consider the objective “merits of the defendant’s case at time of removal” when determining whether to award attorneys’ fees, not subjective bad faith.
The Court may award attorneys’ fees only when “the removing party lacked an objectively reasonable basis for seeking removal.” Martin v. Franklin Capital Corp., 546 U.S. 132, 141 (2005).
Courts have also rejected attorneys’ fees when plaintiff’s “conduct after removal plays a substantial role in causing the case to remain in federal court.” Avitts v. Amoco Production Co., 111 F.3d 30, 32 (5th Cir. 1997).

In Re: Katrina Canal Breaches Litigation, 2:05-cv-04182, No. 21299 (W.D.La. Dec. 3, 2014)
Motion to Dismiss (Demurrer)Granted
On December 20, 2013, the court granted the United States' Motion to Dismiss or, alternatively for Summary Judgment in all cases that were then pending against the United States in Section K. (See Doc. 21242).
However, because of the on-going LEVEE settlement arising out of the proceeds of certain insurance policies held by various levee districts, a number of cases in which the United States was a defendant had been transferred to Judge Ivan Lemelle, Section "B", and had been consolidated there for purposes of the LEVEE settlement.
The above-referenced cases were transferred to this section and the United States now seeks a Rule 54(b) judgment as to all of these cases for the same reasons previously assigned in that December 20, 2013 order.
For the reasons previously assigned therein and noting that there is no opposition filed to this motion, IT IS ORDERED that Defendant United States' Motion to Dismiss or, Alternatively for Summary Judgment, and Entry of Rule 54(b) Judgment (Doc. No. 21298) is GRANTED and finding no just cause for delay, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that after judgment has been entered, these cases are TRANSFERRED to Section "B" for consolidation with Jared Vodanovich v. Boh Brothers Construction Co., LLC, et al., C.A.
