UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EAGLE VISTA EQUITIES, LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

WILSON C. SANTIAGO,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-04143-EMC 

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT & 

RECOMMENDATION

Docket Nos. 2, 4

Plaintiff Eagle Vista Equities, LLC initiated this unlawful detainer action against 

Defendant Wilson C. Santiago in state court. Mr. Santiago removed the case to federal court and 

filed an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). Judge James of this Court 

issued a report and recommendation (“R&R”) in which she concluded that subject matter 

jurisdiction was lacking over the case.

The Court has reviewed Judge James’s R&R and finds it thorough, well reasoned, and 

correct. Accordingly, it adopts Judge James’s R&R as the order of the Court.

United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

As for the pending application to proceed IFP, the Court deems it moot in light of the lack 

of subject matter jurisdiction. The Court also notes that the application was not fully completed. 

See, e.g., Docket No. 2 (App. at 3) (indicating that Mr. Santiago owns or is buying a home but not 

listing its estimated market value of the amount of mortgage).

The Clerk of the Court is instructed to close the file in this case.

This order disposes of Docket Nos. 2 and 4.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 14, 2015
