SeptiTech Motion Ex. A 13:15-13:16.

Bruce Melton's son,

In its Complaint (ECF 3), Progressive identifies itself as "Progressive Septic, Inc." Curiously, in later filings, Progressive identifies itself as "Progressive Septic Services, Inc." The Court will use the name of the plaintiff as it appears in the Complaint. Jurisdiction is based on diversity of citizenship. See 28 U.S.C.
