2009 as the court found the FAC presents no federal causes of action and the parties are not diverse. (See Docket No. 8.) Accordingly, this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1332. Plaintiff's motion to remand is granted and Defendant's motion to dismiss is denied for lack of jurisdiction. The Court finds that oral argument would not be helpful on this matter and vacates the December 7, 2009 hearing. Fed. R. Civ. P. 78; Local Rule 7-15. IT IS ORDERED that the motion be, and it hereby is, granted and that this case be remanded to the Orange County Superior Court, Central Justice Center; and that a certified copy of this order be mailed by the clerk of this court to the clerk of the Orange County Superior Court, Central Justice Center.
