Plaintiff,

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

v.

REMAND [10]

14 UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. et al.,

15 Defendants.

16 I.INTRODUCTION Plaintiff Laura Rowell moves to remand this action to the Superior Court of 19 California, County of Riverside for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. (Mot. Remand 20 (“Motion” or “Mot.”), ECF No. 10.) Rowell argues that Defendant United Parcel 21 Service, Inc. (“UPS”) fails to meet its burden to establish diversity jurisdiction under 22 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a) because the amount in controversy is less than the jurisdictional 23 threshold of $75,000. (Id. at 6–7.[1]) Rowell also argues that the Court lacks federal 24 question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331. (Id. at 7.) For the reasons discussed 25 below, the Court GRANTS the Motion and REMANDS this action to the Riverside 26 County Superior Court.[2] 27 1 Pinpoint citations to the Motion refer to the pagination supplied by the CM/ECF system.…
