US BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AS

TRUSTEE,

Plaintiff,

 v.

JAMIE GARCIA,

Defendant. /

No. C 10-785 SI

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE

SHOULD NOT BE REMANDED TO

STATE COURT FOR LACK OF

JURISDICTION

On February 24, 2010, pro se defendant Jamie Garcia removed this unlawful detainer action

from the Superior Court for the County of Sacramento. From the face of the complaint, this Court lacks

jurisdiction. There are no federal claims in the lawsuit, and an action is not removable on the basis of

diversity of citizenship if the defendant is a citizen of the state in which the action was brought. See 28

U.S.C. § 1441(a), (b). Here, defendant appears to be a California resident, making removal improper.

 Further, the complaint states that it seeks damages less than $10,000, far below the $75,000 amount

in controversy necessary to invoke diversity jurisdiction. In any event, removal to the Northern District

of California is improper because the Superior Court for the County of Sacramento is within the Eastern

District of California. 

Accordingly, defendant is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing no later than 2:00 pm

on May 17, 2010 why this case should not be remanded to the Superior Court for the County of

Sacramento. If defendant asserts that removal was proper and this Court has jurisdiction, defendant

must specifically identify the basis for jurisdiction. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
