UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOANNA FOLEY BLUCHER, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

CASE NO. 10-CV-1638 W (BLM)

ORDER GRANTING

PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION 

TO REMAND CASE TO 

STATE COURT PURSUANT 

TO 28 U.S.C. § 1447

[DOC. 8]

v.

JAMES PICCOLO, et al.,

Defendants.

On May 14, 2010, Plaintiffs filed their complaint in California Superior Court for

damages resulting from the sale of securities in violation of California Corporations

Code § 25501.5 and rescission. On August 5, 2010, Defendants removed this case to

this Court based upon diversity jurisdiction. (Doc. 1.)

Now pending before the Court is Plaintiffs’ motion to remand this case to San

Diego Superior Court. (Doc. 8.) Plaintiffs argue that removal was untimely, that

Defendants failed to obtain consent of all defendants for removal, and that the Court

should award attorney’s fees and costs. In response to Plaintiffs’ motion, Defendants

filed a notice of non-opposition. (Doc. 10.) 

In light of Defendants’ non-opposition to Plaintiffs’ motion, and having read the

moving papers and good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS the motion. (Doc. 8.)
