Defendant.

On January 19, 2017, defendant Melinda Scott was ordered to show cause, in writing,

17

why this unlawful detainer case should not be remanded for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction

18

by February 9. As of February 15, 2017, defendant Scott has filed no response. This order

19

joins the multitude of decisions of district courts in our circuit holding that the Protecting

20

Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009 does not confer federal subject-matter jurisdiction and

21

hereby REMANDS the case. Defendant’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED AS

22

MOOT.

The Clerk shall please CLOSE THE FILE.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
