Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation v. Lidia Castro et al
Filing 11
MINUTE ORDER (IN CHAMBERS): ORDER REMANDING CIVIL ACTION TO SUPERIOR COURT by Judge R. Gary Klausner. Defendant cannot confer jurisdiction upon the Court by attempting to attach a federal question to her Notice of Removal. Accordingly, Defendant� 39;s removal based on federal question jurisdiction is improper. As to the second ground, the Complaint for unlawful detainer indicates on its face that the amount in controversy does not exceed $10,000. Federal Jurisdiction based on complete diversity requires that all parties to the action are completely diverse in citizenship, and that the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. Since the unlawful detainer action does not meet the jurisdictional threshold, Defendant's remov al based on diversity jurisdiction is also improper. For the foregoing reasons, the above-entitled case is ordered REMANDED to the Superior Court for all further proceedings for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Remanding case to Los Angeles Superior Court Central District, Case number 13UM0188 Case Terminated. Made JS-6 (Attachments: # 1 cv 103) (lom) Modified on 7/25/2014 (lom). (mailed 7/25/14)
