Plaintiff's UCL claim, unjust enrichment claim, and request under the CLRA for injunctive relief are dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff's breach of warranty claim is dismissed with leave to amend to the extent it is brought on behalf of the Multi-State Class. If Plaintiff wishes to file a Second Amended Complaint, she is ordered to do so no later than 3/31/2023. See document for further details. (gk)

December 20, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 20 ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REMAND by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: Plaintiff Jinhui Kim has filed a motion to remand. Dkt. No. #18 . Plaintiff's motion argues that Defendant Walmart Inc. raised arguments in its now-mooted motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. #12 ) that demonstrate that the Court lacks equitable jurisdiction over this case. Plaintiff's argument suggests that the parties did not properly meet and confer about the motion in accordance with Local Rule 7-3 prior to its filing. Further, Plaintiff's notice of motion indicates that Plaintiff "sought to meet and confer as soon as possible which was on December 15, 2022," yet filed the motion one day later despite Rule 7-3's requirement that a conference occur at least seven days prior to filing a motion. Plaintiff is ordered to submit a declaration no later than December 27, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. that details when and how the meet and confer took place, discloses what the parties discussed, and demonstrates that Plaintiff has complied with the requirements of Rule 7-3. IT IS SO ORDERED. (jgr)
