CASE CLOSED
JUDGMENT
I. INTRODUCTION
On February 1, 2018, Plaintiff Norma Elizabeth Naranjo Buenostro ("Plaintiff") filed a Complaint against Northeast Valley Health Corporation ("NVHC") for medical malpractice. This action was originally filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. The United States Attorney certified that NVHC was acting within the course and scope of its employment with the United States. As such, on September 10, 2018, the case was removed to federal court, and the United States subsequently substituted in as Defendant.
Defendant United States of America ("Defendant") moved to dismiss the lawsuit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, and on November 2, 2018, the Court granted Defendant's Motion to Dismiss. (Order, ECF No. 14.) / / / / / / / / /
It is therefore ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED as follows:
1. Plaintiff shall recover nothing from Defendant;
2. Plaintiff's Complaint is dismissed on the merits and with prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
