UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSE GOMEZ et al., Case No. 2:25-cv-08195-SB-MAR Plaintiffs, v. ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO REMAND [DKT. NO. 15] AND GENERAL MOTORS LLC, DENYING REQUEST FOR ATTORNEY’S FEES Defendant. Plaintiffs Jose Gomez and Jose Gomez Villarreal filed this action in state court, alleging claims under California’s Song–Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and the federal Magnuson–Moss Act. Defendant General Motors LLC waited two months after answering to remove the case, invoking diversity jurisdiction. The notice of removal conclusorily alleges that Defendant “[i]n the last 30 days” had “conducted a preliminary investigation” and determined, based on unspecified information, that the case was subject to federal jurisdiction. Dkt. No. 1 at 2. Plaintiffs move to remand, challenging the timeliness of removal. Dkt. No. 15. The Court finds this matter suitable for decision without oral argument and vacates the October 24 motion hearing. Fed. R. Civ. P. 78; L.R. 7-15. Defendant’s notice of removal is nearly identical those it filed in numerous other cases removed around the same time, which this Court has remanded based on untimeliness. E.g., Cantero v. General Motors LLC, No. 2:25-CV-06837-SB- PD,

(C.D. Cal. July 25, 2025). For the same reasons as in those cases, Defendant has not met its burden to show that removal was proper. Plaintiffs’ motion is therefore granted, and the case is remanded to the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The Court declines to exercise its discretion under

(c) to award attorney’s fees and costs. Date: October 23, 2025 ___________________________ Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr. United States District Judge
