ZALEZ 9004 LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

JIMMY FRANCISCO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-07825-WHO 

ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE 

JUDGE'S REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION

Re: Dkt. No. 7

I have reviewed Magistrate Judge Nathanael M. Cousins’ Report and Recommendation to 

remand this unlawful detainer action to Monterey County Superior Court based on lack of federal 

jurisdiction. Dkt. No. 7. On December 8, 2019, Magistrate Judge Cousins issued an order to 

show cause as to (1) why the court has jurisdiction over the case where no federal question was 

presented in the complaint and (2) why removal was proper where the defendants listed in the state 

court complaint had not consented to removal. Dkt. No. 5. A response was ordered by January 

10, 2020 but none was filed.

Objections to the recommendation to remand were due no later than 14 days after its 

service on February 3, 2020. No objections have been filed as of the date of this Order. I find 

Magistrate Judge Cousins’ Report correct, well-reasoned, and thorough; I adopt it in every respect. 

Accordingly, the case is REMANDED to Monterey County Superior Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 25, 2020
