v.

ASSET ACCEPTANCE LLC,

Defendant.

No. C-06-4999 JCS

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY

ACTION SHOULD NOT BE REMANDED

On May 9, 2007, Defendant Asset Acceptance LLC filed a Motion for Summary Judgment

(the “Motion”), seeking dismissal of Plaintiff John Boydston’s claim that Defendant violated the

Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), 47 U.S.C. § 227. Plaintiff initially filed his

Complaint in the Small Claims Division of the Superior Court of the State of California in and for

the County of San Francisco, requesting $500 in statutory damages. Defendant removed the action

to the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441 and

1331.

As it appears to the Court that there may be an absence of subject matter jurisdiction,

Defendant is ordered to show cause why this action should not be remanded to the state court. 

Within ten (10) days of this Order, Defendant shall file a Memorandum, not exceeding five pages in

length, demonstrating the existence of subject matter jurisdiction.

The hearing previously scheduled for Friday, June 15, 2007 is vacated. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 11, 2007 _______________________________
