Plaintiff,

v.

JOSE R. VALDES,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-04372-WHO 

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION AND 

REMANDING

Dkt. No. 9

On August 5, 2016, Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley granted defendant’s 

application to proceed in forma pauperis and ordered defendant to show cause, by August 26, 

2016, why this case should not be remanded to state court. Defendant failed to respond to Judge 

Corley’s order. On September 7, 2016, Judge Corley issued a Report and Recommendation 

recommending that this case be REMANDED to Superior Court as this court lacks subject matter 

jurisdiction to hear this case. Objections to Judge Corley’s recommendation were due by 

September 21, 2016. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b); Civ. Local Rule 72-3. As of today’s 

date, no objections have been filed.

Having reviewed the matter, the Court ADOPTS Judge Corley’s Report and 

Recommendation in whole. This case is REMANDED to Contra Costa County Superior Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 4, 2016
