A district court must remand a case to state court “if at any time

Indymac Federal Bank, F.S.B. v. Ocampo, No. CV 09-2337, 2010 WL
234828, *2 (C.D. Cal. Jan. 13, 2010) (sua sponte remanding an action
to state court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction where plaintiff’s
complaint contained only an unlawful detainer claim). As such,
this case is now REMANDED TO STATE COURT.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
