IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELIZABETH DRURY,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO,

TEGSCO, LLC dba SAN FRANCISCO AUTO

RETURN, JOSEPH NANNERY, ANTHONY

AZEBEDO,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 06-7022 CW

ORDER GRANTING

PLAINTIFF'S MOTION

TO REMAND

On November 8, 2006, Defendant City and County of San

Francisco removed this action to this Court. Although Defendants

Tegsco and Joseph Nannery had been served at the time of removal,

neither joined in the notice of removal. Therefore, removal was

improper. See, e.g., Parrino v. FHP, Inc., 146 F.3d 699, 703 (9th

Cir. 1998) ("All defendants must join a notice of removal."). 

On December 12, 2006, Plaintiff Elizabeth Drury moved to

remand this case to the Superior Court of the State of California. 

On January 5, 2007, Defendants City and County of San Francisco and

Jospeh Nannery, the other Defendant who has been served in

this case did not join in the notice of removal or respond to the

motion to remand. The Court notes that the City Attorney

represented Nannery together with the City and County of San

Francisco in filings in the State court, but that it has not done

so in this Court. 

2

Tegsco filed statements of non-opposition to Plaintiff's motion.1

Having considered all of the papers filed by the parties, the Court

grants Plaintiff's motion (Docket No. 5) and remands this case to

State court. The hearing scheduled for January 19, 2007 is

vacated. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
