IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WEDGEWOOD,

Plaintiff,

 v.

MATIJA TURKALJ,

Defendant. /

No. C 15-01975 WHA

ORDER REMANDING CASE

On April 13, 2015, the undersigned judge remanded this unlawful detainer action to

Contra Costa Country Superior Court because there was no federal jurisdiction (Case No 15-C1015 Dkt. No. 11). On May 1, defendant Matija Turkalj, proceeding pro se, again removed this

action to federal court, despite the previous remand. Defendant Turkalj was ordered to show

cause as to why this action should not be remanded to state court again. 

In response to the order to show cause, defendant argued that he removed the case to

federal court because the unlawful detainer action, filed against him in state court, violated his

Fourteenth Amendment rights due to his national origin. As stated in the first order remanding

defendant’s case, this is not a proper basis for removal. Accordingly, THE CLERK SHALL

REMAND THE CASE TO CONTRA COSTA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 18, 2015. WILLIAM ALSUP
