UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEREK TATE,

Plaintiff,

v.

DIANA NAKASHYAN,

Defendant.

No. 1:19-cv-01211-NONE-EPG (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND REMANDING 

CASE TO STATE COURT

(Doc. No. 11)

Plaintiff Derek Tate proceeds pro se in this action against Defendant Diana Nakashyan for 

claims under California law. Defendant removed the case to this federal court on September 3, 

2019. (Doc. No. 1.) On September 20, 2019, plaintiff filed “objections” to defendant’s notice of 

removal, which the court has construed as a motion to remand the action to state court. (Doc. No. 

4.) The parties have briefed the issue. (Doc. Nos. 4, 8.)

On December 17, 2019, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and 

recommendations recommending that: “1. [p]laintiff’s objections to [d]efendant’s notice of 

removal, construed as a motion to remand ([Doc.] No. 4.), be granted and this case be remanded 

to Kern County Superior Court; 2. [p]laintiff’s Motion for Clarification ([Doc.] No. 10.) be 

denied as moot; and 3. [t]he Clerk of Court be instructed to close this case.” ([Doc.] No. 11, p. 7.)

The parties were provided an opportunity to file objections to the findings and 

recommendations. Neither party did so and the time for the filing of any objections has passed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b0(1)(B) and Local Rule 304, this 

court has conducted a de novo review of this matter. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, 

the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and proper 

analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that

1. The findings and recommendations issued on December 17, 2019 are ADOPTED in 

full (Doc. No. 11);

2. This matter is HEREBY REMANDED to the Kern County Superior Court for lack of 

subject matter jurisdiction; 

3. Plaintiff’s Motion for Clarification (Doc. No. 10.) is DENIED AS MOOT; and 

4. The Clerk of Court is instructed to close this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 1, 2020
