WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Morrison, Ekre & Bart Management Services 

Incorporated,

Plaintiff,

v. 

Melanie Dawson, et al.,

Defendants.

No. CV-20-00050-TUC-DCB

ORDER 

On January 30, 2020, the Defendants Dawson, acting pro se, removed this action 

from state court. (Doc. 1.) They, also, seek to proceed without prepaying fees or costs. 

(Doc. 2.) The Defendants seek to remove a forcible detainer on proceeding from the Justice 

Court of Pima County. The Plaintiff has filed an Objection to the removal. (Doc. 6.) For 

all the reasons stated in the Objection, which are succinctly explained, the Court finds that 

this action is not removable. It is apparent on the face of the Complaint that there is no 

federal question jurisdiction over, what is essentially, a residential eviction proceeding. 

The Court remands the case to the Pima County Justice Court.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that the Application to Proceed without Prepaying Fees and 

Costs (Doc. 2) is DENIED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is REMANDED to the Pima County 

Justice Court.
