United States District Court

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARL ALEXANDER WESCOTT,

Plaintiff,

v.

JIM UPSHAW, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-01640-WHO 

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION; DISMISSING 

CASE FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

Re: Dkt. No. 11

On June 12, 2019, Judge Westmore issued a Report and Recommendation recommending 

that this case be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Specifically, Judge Westmore determined that 

diversity jurisdiction could not be established under Westcott’s Amended Complaint [Dkt. No. 10] 

because both Wescott and defendant HPA Mortgage, LLC (as well as HPA’s managing member) 

are citizens of California. Dkt. No. 11.

Objections to Judge Westmore’s Report and Recommendation were due by July 1, 2019. 

As of the date of this Order, no objections or other response has been filed.

 Reviewing the record in this case and Judge Westmore’s Report and Recommendation, I 

find Judge Westmore’s report thorough and correct; I adopt it in every respect. Accordingly, the 

complaint is dismissed without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 19, 2019

United States District Judge
