UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RUBY DANIELSSON,

Case No. 19-cv-04592-JCS Plaintiff, 8 v. RE MOTION TO REMAND 9 BLOOD CENTERS OF THE PACIFIC, et Re: Dkt. No. 16 al., Defendants.

This is a class action that was initially filed in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Francisco. Defendant Vitalant (erroneously sued as Blood Centers of the Pacific) removed to federal court under diversity jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. § 1332, and the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA). Plaintiff Danielsson moved to remand the action back to state court because, she claims, Vitalant did not prove by preponderance of the evidence that the amount in controversy exceeds $5 million. The Court orders the parties to submit additional evidence related to the amount in controversy. This case is similar to Ibarra v. Manheim Investments, Inc., 775 F.3d 1193 (9th Cir. 2015). There, the defendant in a wage and hour dispute removed the action to federal court under the CAFA. …
