UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALDRICH SUPPLY CO., INC.,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 10CV1641 JLS (WVG)

ORDER SUA SPONTE

vs. REMANDING CASE

SOIL RETENTION SYSTEMS, INC.,

UNITED STATES NAVY, NOVA GROUP,

INC., and UNDERGROUND

CONSTRUCTION CO.,

Defendants.

On June 14, 2010, Plaintiff initiated a small claims action against the United States Navy

and several other parties. Approximately two months later, the Navy removed the case pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1442(a)(1). (Doc. No. 1.) The Court then dismissed without prejudice Plaintiff’s

complaint against the Navy. (Doc. No. 17.) Plaintiff was given an opportunity to amend its

complaint as to the Navy, but failed to do so within the allotted time. With the federal party

eliminated from the suit, this Court declines to retain jurisdiction over the non-federal parties. See

District of Columbia v. Merit Systems Protection Bd., 762 F.2d 129, 133 (D.C. Cir. 1985); IMFC

Prof. Services of Florida, Inc. v. Latin American Home Health, Inc., 676 F.2d 152, 160 (5th Cir.

1982). The matter is REMANDED to San Diego Superior Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 4, 2011

Honorable Janis L. Sammartino

United States District Judge
