Present: The Honorable MICHAEL W. FITZGERALD, U.S. District Judge
CIVIL MINUTES-GENERAL
Proceedings (In Chambers): ORDER REMANDING ACTION TO LOS ANGELES COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT
On December 10, 2024, the Court entered an Order granting Plaintiff's Motion to Join Defendant and for Remand (“Prior Order”). (Docket No. 24). Pursuant to the Prior Order, on December 17, 2024, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) joining a non-diverse defendant. (Docket No. 25). Upon the filing of the FAC, there is no longer complete diversity of citizenship between the parties, thereby divesting the Court of its jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a).
Accordingly, the action is REMANDED and the Clerk of Court is ORDERED to return this action to the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
