NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ASM INVESTMENT LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

FRANCISCO ESPARAZA,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-03134-WHO 

ORDER GRANTING REQUEST TO 

PROCEED IN IFP; ADOPTING 

MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION AND 

REMANDING CASE

Re: Dkt. Nos. 3, 5

Defendant Francisco Esparaza has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Dkt. 

No. 3. I have reviewed that application and GRANT it. 

My next task is to examine the complaint, or in this case the notice of removal, to ensure 

that the action contains claims that can be pursued in this Court. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B); see 

also Muhammad v. N. Richmond Senior Hous., Inc., 15-cv-00629-WHO, 2015 WL 1154209, at *2 

(N.D. Cal. Mar. 13, 2015) (granting IFP and remanding case), appeal dismissed (Apr. 13, 2015).

Magistrate Judge Maria Elena James’s Report and Recommendation Re: Order for Clerk of Court 

to Reassign Case concluded that the complaint, which asserts only one state law claim for unlawful 

detainer, does not provide any grounds for removal. Dkt. No. 5. I have reviewed the complaint and 

Judge James’s recommendation. Her Report and Recommendation is correct, well-reasoned and 

thorough, and I adopt it in every respect. Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation is 

INCORPORATED by reference and ADOPTED in its entirety. This case shall be REMANDED 

to Contra Costa County Superior Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 24, 2015
