- ilnd;;1:11-cv-01981_de10 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman: Motion hearing held. Plaintiff's Motion to Remand for Improper Removal 5 7 is granted. Plaintiff's motion for remand argues that there may not be complete diversity of citizenship in order to give this court jurisdiction because there are several "unknown" defendants named. Although there is case law in this district to support that argument. See Home Savings of Am., F.A. v. Am. Nat'l Bank and Trust Co. of Chi., 762 F.Supp. 240 (N.D.Ill. 1991). Resolution of this issue is more clearly determined by statute. 28 U.S.C. §1441(b) governs removal of actions from state court and provides that in civil actions over which this court does not have original jurisdiction, "such action shall be removable only if none of the parties in interest properly joined and served as defendants isa citizen of the State in which such action is brought." Since Ms. 17B00B0 is a citizen of Illinois and the case does not present a federal question for original jurisdiction, the action is not removable. Accordingly, this matter is remanded without prejudice to state court. Mailed notice (mb, ) (Entered: 06/23/2011)" @default.
