PROCEEDINGS: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER REMANDING TO STATE COURT
The Court ordered Defendant to show cause why this action should not be remanded to state court for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. (OSC, Doc. 10.) Both parties responded to the order to show cause. (Def.’s Resp., Doc. 11; Pl.’s Resp., Doc. 12.) Having reviewed the parties’ briefing, the Court concludes that Defendant has not met its burden as the removing party to establish that the amount in controversy exceeds CAFA’s $5,000,000 threshold. Therefore, this action is REMANDED to the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Case No. 23STCV27657.
