Civil Action No. 20-677 (SRC)
OPINION & ORDER

CHESLER, District Judge
This matter comes before the Court on the motion by Defendant Ellen Heine (“Heine”)
for reconsideration of the Opinion and Order dated July 30, 2020, which granted the motion to
remand filed by Plaintiff, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). On that same date, after this
Court’s Order was filed, the Clerk of this Court mailed the remand transmittal letter to the
Superior Court of New Jersey. That act of mailing terminated this Court’s jurisdiction to take
any further action in this case. “[A] district court loses jurisdiction over a case once it has
completed the remand by sending a certified copy of the remand order to the state court.” Trans
Penn Wax Corp. v. McCandless, 50 F.3d 217, 225 (3d Cir. 1995). This Court lacks jurisdiction
to consider the motion for reconsideration, which must be denied.
For these reasons,
IT IS on this 16th day of November, 2020

Case 2:20-cv-00677-SRC-SCM Document 33 Filed 11/16/20 Page 2 of 2 PageID: 226

ORDERED that Defendant’s motion for reconsideration (Docket Entry No. 29)
is DENIED.
