IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
HELLEN GONZALEZ,
Plaintiff,
vs.

CIV 16-0587 KG/KBM

TOWN OF EDGEWOOD; TOWN OF
EDGEWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT; and
CHIEF OF POLICE FRED RADOSEVICH, in
his individual and representative capacities,
Defendants.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte. On May 19, 2016, Plaintiff filed a
Complaint for Damages against Defendants in the First Judicial District Court, County of Santa
Fe, State of New Mexico. On June 15, 2016, Defendants removed that case to this Court
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1446(a). Defendants claim removal is proper because this Court has
jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1332 and 1441(b). However, based on its
review of the Notice of Removal and the Complaint for Civil Damages, this Court is yet unable
to conclude it has subject matter jurisdiction.
THEREFORE, this Court orders that counsel appear by calling in to the Court’s Meet-Me
Conference Line at 505-348-2354 at 10:00 a.m. (Mountain Time) on Thursday, November 15,
2018, to explain why this case should not be remanded to the First Judicial District Court,

County of Santa Fe, State of New Mexico.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED.
