IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MASANORI HAYASHI,

Plaintiff,

 v.

NCO FINANCIAL SYSTEMS INC.,

Defendant.

 /

No. C 06-06217 CRB

ORDER OF REMAND AND TO PAY

COSTS

Plaintiff’s motion to remand is GRANTED. Exclusive jurisdiction of the Telephone

Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. section 227, lies in the state court where plaintiff

originally filed this action. Murphey v. Lanier, 204 F.3d 911, 915 (9th Cir. 2000). 

As there was no basis for removal, plaintiff is awarded his costs and expenses in the

amount of $107.73. See 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c). The Court has not included any award for

attorney’s fees because plaintiff’s declaration does not indicate that plaintiff was actually

charged for attorney time. Defendant shall pay plaintiff his costs and expenses as ordered

within 10 days of the date of this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: Nov. 9, 2006
