UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NERY’S USA, INC.,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 11cv1469 BEN (JMA)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

vs. REMAND

ZAHAVA GROUP, INC. et al.,

Defendants.

Defendant Zahava Group, Inc.’s unopposed Motion to Remand is before the Court. (Dkt. No.

4.) On July 1, 2011, Defendant PacificCheeseCo., Inc. filed a Notice of Removal, removing this case

from San Diego Superior Court. On July 26, 2011, Defendant Zahava Group moved to remand the

case because Defendant Pacific Cheese failed to obtain Defendant Zahava Group’s consent to removal.

On August 5, 2011, Defendant Pacific Cheese filed a Statement of Non-Opposition to the Motion.

(Dkt. No. 7.) 

Because Pacific Cheese failed to obtain Zahava’s consent to removal, the case must be

remanded. “In cases involving multiple defendants, ‘all defendants must join in a removal petition.’”

Proctor v. Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., 584 F.3d 1208, 1224 (9th Cir. 2009) (quoting Hewitt v. City

of Stanton, 798 F.2d 1230, 1232 (9th Cir. 1986)). Defendant Pacific Cheese’s removal was improper

and the case must be remanded. Defendant Zahava Group’s Motion to Remand is GRANTED and

the case is REMANDED to San Diego Superior Court.
