UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAVIER LABRA, et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. C 09-2537 PJH

v. ORDER SETTING ASIDE CLERK’S

ENTRY OF DEFAULT, AND REMANDING

CAL-WESTERN RECONVEYANCE CASE

CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants.

_______________________________/

Defendants having removed this case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a), (b) and 

§ 1331, and plaintiffs having conceded that they have no claim under the Truth in Lending

Act (“TILA”) or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”), and no other federal

claim having been asserted, the court declines to exercise jurisdiction over the remaining

state law claims, see 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3), particularly in view of the fact that the

remaining claims raise a substantial state law issue or issues that would be better resolved

by a California court.

In addition, the court has by separate order granted the motion of defendant

NorthPoint Financial Corporation to set aside the default entered against it. The court finds

that in light of this remand order, the default of defendant Wholesale America Mortgage,

Inc., should also be set aside and the motion for default judgment terminated, so that the

state court can determine the issue of default and can resolve all claims remaining against

any defendant.
