Case No. 04-CV-72525-DT KASEY KAHNE, Defendant. / ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S “MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT” AND DENYING PLAINTIFF’S “MOTION . .TO FILE FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT” This civil action involves a breach of contract claim brought by Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) against professional stock car driver Kasey Kahne. Kahne is currently racing in circuits sanctioned by the National Association of Stock Car Automobile Racing (“NASCAR”). Ford initially filed this case in Wayne County Circuit Court, and Defendant timely removed the case to federal court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1441 and 1446. Ford’s complaint alleges a purely state law contract claim with this court’s subject matter jurisdiction predicated on diversity jurisdiction as granted by Congress under 28 U.S.C. § 1331. The matter is before the court on Defendant’s May 12, 2005 “Motion for Summary Judgment” and Plaintiff’s June 28, 2005 “Motion for Leave to File First Amended Complaint.” Both motions have been briefed by the parties and, on July 20, 2005, the court held a hearing on the motions. For the reasons explained below, the court will grant Defendant’s motion for summary judgment and will deny Plaintiff’s motion to amend its complaint at this advanced stage of the litigation. 2:04-cv-72525-RHC-VMM Doc # 65 Filed 07/28/05 Pg 2 of 39 Pg ID 1403 I.
