UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIANNE NEIDIGH, 

Plaintiff 

v. 

ROXANNE LORAINE SLAUGH AND 

DOES 1 THROUGH 10, INCLUSIVE, 

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-01664-MCE-GGH

ORDER 

Presently before the Court is Defendant ROXANNE SLAUGH’s timely motion to 

remand the above case to the California Superior Court for the County of El Dorado, 

based on a defect in her initial removal procedure. Defendant originally removed the 

case under 28 USC § 1332 based on diversity of citizenship between the parties (ECF 

No. 1). As Defendant explains in her unopposed motion, however, because Defendant 

is a citizen of California, such removal was improper under 28 USC § 1441(b)(2) (more 

commonly known as the “forum defendant rule”).
