Re: Dkt. No. 14

The Court finds plaintiff’s motion for remand, Dkt. No. 14, to be suitable for decision
without oral argument pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b).

14

After carefully considering the papers and all documents on file, the Court finds the case to

15

have been removed improvidently and without jurisdiction. The Court consequently orders the

16

case remanded to the Superior Court of California for the County of Alameda, pursuant to 28

17

U.S.C. § 1447(c).

18
19

The Court denies plaintiff’s request for an award of fees under 28 U.S.C. §1447(c). Each
side will bear its own costs that were incurred as a result of the removal.

20

The hearing and case management conference that were set for September 2, 2015, are

21

vacated, and the Clerk of Court is asked to transmit a copy of this order to the clerk of the State

22

court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
