Plaintiff filed this action in state court in 2009, asserting various claims for relief against the
City of Freemont and members of its police force. Defendants removed to federal court, reasoning

20
21

that the court has original jurisdiction over Hall’s claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In 2011, the court

22

granted summary judgment on all of Hall’s claims. On appeal, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

23

affirmed in part and reversed in part. While affirming the district court’s grant of summary

24

judgment on the § 1983 claim, the Ninth Circuit held that summary judgment was improper on

25

Hall’s state law claims for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false arrest,

26
27

and false imprisonment.

28

NO. C 09-01629

1

In light of the Ninth Circuit’s decision, plaintiff seeks to remand this action to state court.

2

Due to the retirement of the previously assigned judge, this matter shall be reassigned to a randomly

3

selected judicial officer. Plaintiff shall renotice her motion upon reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
