ATTORNEYS PRESENT FOR PLAINTIFF: ATTORNEYS PRESENT FOR DEFENDANT:

None Present None Present

PROCEEDINGS: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER REMANDING ACTION TO STATE COURT

Defendant seeks to remove this eviction proceeding to federal court, invoking this Court’s federal question jurisdiction. Defendant states no cognizable basis for federal question jurisdiction. Instead, she makes a vague statement that the determination of a demurrer she filed in state court involves federal law. But it is axiomatic that a federal defense or counter-claim does not give rise to federal-question jurisdiction. Franchise Tax Bd. v. Constr. Laborers Vacation Trust for S. Cal.,

(1983). The Court REMANDS this action to state court.
