DAVID PHIFER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-CV-04490-LHK 

ORDER REMANDING CASE TO 

SANTA CLARA COUNTY SUPERIOR 

COURT

Re: Dkt. No. 6

On August 9, 2016, Defendants David and Lolita Phifer (“Defendants”) filed a notice of 

removal in an attempt to remove this unlawful detainer case from Santa Clara County Superior 

Court to federal court. ECF No. 1. This action was originally assigned to U.S. Magistrate Judge 

Howard Lloyd. 

On August 10, 2016, Judge Lloyd issued a Report and Recommendation which 

recommended that the instant action be remanded to Santa Clara County Superior Court for lack 

of federal subject matter jurisdiction. ECF No. 6. No objections have been filed to the Report and 

Recommendation, and the time to file objections has now passed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2) 

(providing parties 14 days to object to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendations). 

Having reviewed Judge Lloyd’s Report and Recommendation, as well as the record in this
