ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND REMANDING CASE
Re: Dkt. No. 4
WILLIAM H. ORRICK, District Judge.
On May 30, 2018, Plaintiff RNL Investments, Inc. filed this unlawful detainer action against Defendants Jack and Meredith Berlau in Contra Costa Superior Court. Complaint [Dkt. No. 1] ECF page 8. On January 16, 2019, Defendants removed it to this Court. Notice of Removal [Dkt. No. 1]. On January 24, 2019, United States Magistrate Judge Elizabeth D. Laporte issued a report and recommendation that this case be remanded to state court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Report and Recommendation [Dkt. No. 4]. Judge Laporte concluded that there is no federal question jurisdiction because the complaint asserts only a state law claim and no diversity jurisdiction because neither the diversity of citizenship nor the amount in controversy requirements is met. Id. at 2-3.
Objections to the report and recommendation were due within 14 days; as of the date of this Order, no objections have been filed. I find Judge Laporte's report thorough, well-reasoned, and correct; I adopt it in every respect. Accordingly, this case is REMANDED to state court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
