Opinion

MICHAEL KRONK, v. LANDWIN GROUP LLC ET AL No. SACV 10-00242-CJC(MLGx) United States District Court, C.D. California. June 7, 2011

          CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL

          CORMAC J. CARNEY, District Judge.

         PROCEEDINGS: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO PLAINTIFF TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS MATTER SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

         By order dated June 7, 2011, this Court granted Defendants' motion to dismiss Mr. Kronk's federal claims. Only two state-law claims remain in this action. Mr. Kronk has not alleged facts in his Second Amended Complaint to establish the minimal diversity and amount in controversy requirements for this Court to exercise jurisdiction pursuant to the Class Action Fairness Act ("CAFA"), 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d). Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS Mr. Kronk to show cause why his two remaining state law claims should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. If Mr. Kronk seeks to establish CAFA jurisdiction, he must submit evidence that the minimal diversity and amount in controversy requirements are satisfied in this case.

         Mr. Kronk shall file his opposition to this order to show cause within seven days from the date of this minute order. Defendants shall have seven days thereafter to file a response. The matter shall stand submitted upon the receipt of Defendants' response.
