UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTIANA TRUST,

Plaintiff,

v.

ROSALIE V. PANKEY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-02217-PJH 

ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE 

JUDGE'S REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION; ORDER 

GRANTING IFP APPLICATION AND 

MOTION TO REMAND

The court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Donna M. Ryu's Report and 

Recommendation re defendants’ IFP application and plaintiff’s motion to remand this 

unlawful detainer action to the Superior Court of California, County of Contra Costa. The 

court finds Judge Ryu’s report correct, well-reasoned and thorough, and adopts it in 

every respect. 

Defendants filed a request for judicial notice on July 8, 2015, which the court 

construes as objections to the Report and Recommendation. Defendants argue that the 

signatures on some of the documents recorded in connection with the non-judicial 

foreclosure were forged, and thus that the documents were invalid and the foreclosure 

sale should be set aside. 

This court does not have jurisdiction over the unlawful detainer action. Thus, any 

argument defendants may have with regard to the legality of the foreclosure sale or any 

other matter relating to the subject property cannot be raised in this court in the present 

action.
