Summary of this case from Fed. Nat'l Mortg. Ass'n v. Marin-YachyremaOpinion
Civil No. 13-1202 (JNE/JJK)
01-21-2014
Federal National Mortgage Association, Plaintiff, v. Teresa Bullock, John Doe, Mary Roe, and ABC Corporation, Defendants.
ORDER
This is an eviction action brought by Federal National Mortgage Association in state court and removed by Teresa Bullock. On December 12, 2013, the Honorable Jeffrey J. Keyes, United States Magistrate Judge, recommended that the action be remanded to state court. Bullock objected. The Court has conducted a de novo review of the record. See D. Minn. LR 72.2(b). Based on that review, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation [Docket No. 30]. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
On December 26, 2013, one of Bullock's attorneys, William B. Butler, was suspended from the practice of law before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In re Butler, No. 13-9013 (8th Cir. Dec. 26, 2013). Consequently, he was automatically suspended from the practice of law before this Court. See D. Minn. LR 83.6(b)(1). Bullock objected before Butler's suspension.
The Court has remanded several similar actions to state court. See, e.g., Fed. Nat'l Mortg. Ass'n v. Guse, Civil No. 13-801 (PJS/JSM), 2014 WL 127033 (D. Minn. Jan. 14, 2014); Fed. Home Loan Mortg. Corp. v. Stone, Civil No. 13-970 (JNE/AJB) (D. Minn. Aug. 12, 2013); Fed. Nat'l Mortg. Ass'n v. Torborg, Civil No. 13-1522 (DWF/AJB), 2013 WL 5567450 (D. Minn. Oct. 9, 2013), appeal docketed, No. 13-3334 (8th Cir. Oct. 25, 2013).
