Dkt. 1 at 6. Defendant Jean Carlos Perez removed the case to this Court on January 10, 2025. Id. at 1. Defendant Jean Carlos Perez asserts that this Court has jurisdiction on the basis of a federal question. Id, at 3 (citing

and § 1441). It appears that this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this action. The law is Clear that “[u|nlawful detainer actions are strictly within the province of state court.” Federal Nat’] Mort. Assoc. v. Suarez,

, *6 (E.D. Cal. Jul. 27, 2011); Deutsche Bank Nat’] Trust Co. v. Leonardo,

, *2 (C.D. Cal. Aug. 1, 2011) (“[T]he complaint only asserts a claim for unlawful detainer, a cause of action that is purely a matter of state law.”). Here, the only claim asserted by plaintiff is for unlawful detainer against defendants. See dkt. 1 at 6. The Court therefore lacks subject matter jurisdiction and must remand. Suarez,

at *6. On January 17, 2025, the Court ordered defendants to show cause, in writing, no later than February 3, 2025, why this case should not be remanded to Los Angeles County Superior Court. Dkt. 7. Defendants have failed to respond to the order to show cause. Accordingly, the Court REMANDS this case to Los Angeles County Superior Court. IT IS SO ORDERED. 00 : 00 Initials of Preparer ELUM
