[UNPUBLISHED]
PER CURIAM.

Arkansas resident James Warford appeals the district court’s[1] denial of his motion to remand his diversity action against United Parcel Service, Inc., which had been removed from Arkansas state court. After careful de novo review, see In re Prempro Prods. Liab. Litig., 591 F.3d 613, 619 (8th Cir. 2010), we conclude that, on its face, the complaint sufficiently demonstrated that the amount in controversy exceeded the jurisdictional amount. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

[1] The HONORABLE JIMM LARRY HENDREN, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas.
