1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 2 DISTRICT OF NEVADA SUBBIAH VAUGHN on behalf of N.M., a Case No.: 2:22-cv-00501-APG-DJA minor, 4 Order Remanding Case to State Court Plaintiff 5 v. 6 CLARK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, 7 Defendant 8 9 Defendant Clark County School District removed this case on the basis of federal 10}| question jurisdiction. ECF No. 1. However, the plaintiffs complaint does not refer to any federal claim. ECF No. 1-2. “Removal and subject matter jurisdiction statutes are strictly construed, and a defendant seeking removal has the burden to establish that removal is proper any doubt is resolved against removability.” Hawaii ex rel. Louie v. HSBC Bank Nev., N.A.,

, 1034 (9th Cir. 2014) (quotation omitted). Although the plaintiff refers to constitutional rights and discrimination, those references may be based on the Nevada 16}| constitution and Nevada state law. It is not apparent from the face of the complaint that it raises 17|| any federal question, and doubts regarding whether removal is proper should be resolved against removability. Consequently, I remand this case to the state court from which it was removed. 19 I THEREFORE ORDER that this case is remanded to the state court from which it was 20|| removed for all further proceedings. The clerk of the court is instructed to close this case. 21 DATED this 23rd day of March, 2022.
