Great Western Capital LLC v. Gloria C Barrera et al
Filing 5
ORDER REMANDING CASE TO LOS ANGELES SUPERIOR COURT by Judge Otis D. Wright, II :Court notes that this is Barreras second failed attempt at removal.See Great Western Capital LLC v. Barrera, No. 2:13-cv-00163-ABC-CW (C.D. Cal.filed Jan. 9, 2013). Last time Barrera attempted removal, Judge Collins explained very clearly that the amount in controversy does not exceed the diversity-jurisdiction threshold of $75,000 and that even if the amount in controversy were met, Defendant resides in the for um state, so she cannot properly remove the action. Barrera, No. 2:13-cv-00163-ABC-CW, ECF No. 6 (C.D. Cal. Jan 14, 2013). And yet here we are again. Astonishingly, Barreras Notice of Removal before this Court is identical to her prior the notice of removal; it neither advances new jurisdictional theories nor pleads new facts that establish federal jurisdiction. This practice patently violates Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). Barrera is therefore warned that should she attempt to remove th is inherently unremovable matter again, this Court will sanction her and her counsel $1,000 for violation of Rule 11(b) and report Barreras counsels conduct to the California State Bar. cc: order, docket and remand letter to Los Angeles Superior Court, Stanley Mosk Courthouse, Case number 12U15828. Case Terminated. Made JS-6 (Attachments: # 1 remand letter) (lc)
