Delux Public Charter, LLC v. County of Orange, California

I. INTRODUCTION

On January 6, 2015, plaintiff Pacifico Partners 3, LLC filed a complaint for unlawful detainer in the Los Angeles County Superior Court against defendants Danny Dongki Kim and Sarah Myongsun Kim for possession of property located at 1111 S. Grand Ave. #701, Los Angeles, CA 90015. Dkt. 1. The complaint alleges damages of less than $10,000. Id. On March 11, 2015, defendants removed the action to this Court on the basis of purported federal question jurisdiction. Id. Defendants allege that jurisdiction in this Court is proper because the unlawful detainer will deprive them of property without sufficient due process protections. Plaintiff filed an ex parte application to remand the action to Superior Court on March 16, 2015. Dkt. 6. On March 20, 2015, the Court issued an order for defendants to show cause by March 27, 2015 as to why this lawsuit should not be remanded. Dkt. 8. Defendants have not responded to the Court’s order. Having carefully considered plaintiff’s arguments, the Court finds and concludes as follows.
