Date Filed Document Text
September 13, 2023 Case Remanded to Superior Court re Minute Order on Motion to Remand to State Court. (zjm)
August 25, 2023 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER granting in part and denying in part #3 Plaintiff's Motion for Remand for Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction and Award of Costs. Plaintiff's request for remand is granted insofar as he has represented that his complaint does not assert any federal claim. The motion for fees and costs is denied, as the complaint reasonably could be read to assert a federal claim. The complaint not only states that relief is sought under "District of Columbia and Federal common and statutory law," it also alleges a violation of Plaintiff's "constitutional and common law rights to be free from unlawful detention" and uses the phrase deliberate indifference multiple times, thereby suggesting a claim under Section 1983. Compl., ECF No. 1-2, at 2 and paras. 33, 67, 83. Because of the ambiguity in Plaintiff's pleading, sanctions are not warranted. The clerk of court shall remand this matter to the D.C. Superior Court. Signed by Judge Amit P. Mehta on 08/25/2023. (lcapm1)
