UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JULIE JOY,

Plaintiff,

 v.

THE MORTGAGE LAW FIRM,

PLC, et al.

Defendants.

Case No.: 15cv2735 BTM(NLS)

ORDER REMANDING CASE

On February 14, 2017, the Court issued an order to show cause (“OSC”) 

requiring Defendants to demonstrate why this mortgage relief action initiated in 

state court should not be remanded for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. (ECF 

No. 24.) Defendants were given until February 21, 2017, to respond to the OSC. 

See id. As of the date of this order, only Seterus, Inc. and Federal National 

Mortgage Association have filed a response, which simply indicates they do not 

object to remand. (ECF No. 25.)

The removing defendant bears the burden of establishing that removal is 

proper, and the Court resolves all ambiguity in favor of remand to state court. 

Matheson v. Progressive Specialty Ins. Co., 319 F.3d 1089, 1090 (9th Cir. 2003). 

For the reasons stated in the OSC, and based on the lack of substantive response

to the OSC, Defendants have failed to meet this burden. The Court therefore finds 

it lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this action. 

Therefore, the Court REMANDS this action to the Superior Court of San 

Diego, County of San Diego. 

IT IS SO ORDERED:

Dated: March 3, 2017
