Arcangel v. Huntington Atlantic Hotels, LLC

United States District Court for the District of Maryland
2018 WL 5885517 (2018)

Facts

Gilbert Arcangel (plaintiff) and Marygrace Arcangel (plaintiff), guests at a Marriott hotel owned by Huntington Atlantic Hotels, LLC (Huntington) (defendant), were allegedly bitten by bedbugs. The Arcangels told the hotel, which had pest-control company Ecolab, Inc. (defendant) exterminate the bedbugs, but Ecolab allegedly failed to properly perform its duties. The Arcangels sued Huntington and Ecolab. In Count I of their complaint, the Arcangels asserted a state-law negligence claim against Huntington for putting them in an infested room. In Count II, the Arcangels claimed that Huntington had violated the Maryland Consumer Protection Act (MCPA) by impliedly representing that the room was fit to occupy. In Count III, the Arcangels asserted a negligence claim against Ecolab for failing to properly inspect their room and exterminate the bedbugs. The Arcangels sought $75,000 in damages for Count I and $75,000 for Count II. Huntington and Ecolab removed the case to federal court, arguing that the amount-in-controversy requirement for removal to federal court had been met because Arcangels sought a total of $150,000 in damages against Huntington. The Arcangels moved to remand, and the district court considered the motion.
