1 2 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA 3 4 Adam Amos, et al., Case No. 2:25-cv-01696-CDS-NJK

5 Plaintiffs Order Remanding Case for Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction and Closing Case 6 v.

7 Extra Space Management, Inc.,

8 Defendant

9 10 This negligence case arises from a fire that started at defendant Extra Space 11 Management’s storage facility. See Compl., ECF No. 2-3. After reviewing Extra Space’s notice of 12 removal, asserting diversity jurisdiction, United States Magistrate Judge Nancy J. Koppe issued 13 an order to show cause why this case should not be remanded for lack of subject matter 14 jurisdiction. Order, ECF No. 5. Therein she noted that, in a class action not removed under the 15 Class Action Fairness Act, at least one named plaintiff in the class must satisfy the $75,000 16 amount in controversy requirement. Id. (citing Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Allapattah Servs., Inc.,

546, 549 (2005); Lewis v. Verizon Commc’ns, Inc.,

(9th Cir. 2010)). She further 18 stated that Extra Space’s “removal papers do not attempt to show that any named plaintiff has a 19 claim exceeding $75,000” and instead, Extra Space “attempts to aggregate the amount in 20 controversy.”

Extra Space filed a timely response to the show-cause order conceding that 21 aggregation is inappropriate and, therefore, remand is proper. Resp., ECF No. 7. As there is no 22 valid basis for removal or for diversity jurisdiction, this matter must be remanded to state court. 23
