UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FEDERAL NATIONAL

MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 13CV1111 JLS (NLS)

ORDER (1) VACATING HEARING;

(2) GRANTING MOTION TO

REMAND; AND, (3) DENYING AS

MOOT MOTION TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS

(ECF Nos. 4, 2)

vs.

YUMI HAHN,

Defendant.

Presently before the Court is Plaintiff Federal National Mortgage

Association’s (“Plaintiff”) Motion to Remand. (ECF No. 4). The hearing on the

motion that is currently set for July 25, 2013 is HEREBY VACATED and the

matter is taken under submission without oral argument pursuant to Civil Local Rule

7.1(d)(1). 

Defendant Yumi Hahn (“Defendant”) failed to file an opposition to Plaintiff’s

motion within the time specified by Civil Local Rule 7.1(e)(2). Accordingly, the

Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion. See CivLR 7.1(f)(3)(c). 

Moreover, the Court notes that Plaintiff’s motion to remand must be granted

on its merits because this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over a state law

action for unlawful detainer. See Franchise Tax Bd. of Cal. v. Construction

Laborers Vacation Trust For S. Cal., 463 U.S. 1, 10-11 (1983). Defendant’s

assertion of counterclaims or defenses under the Protecting Tenants in Foreclosure

Act, 12 U.S.C. § 5201 et seq., or other federal statutes, does not create federal

question jurisdiction. See id. Finally, diversity jurisdiction is also absent in this

matter because the amount in controversy does not exceed $75,000. See 28 U.S.C. §

1332. 

For these reasons, the Court REMANDS this action to the Superior Court for

the County of San Diego. Defendant’s pending Motion to Proceed In Forma

Pauperis, (ECF No. 2), is DENIED AS MOOT. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: July 19, 2013
