August 20, 2018 Filing 10 STIPULATION of Dismissal without Prejudice by Joseph Harrell. (Lemberg, Sergei)
August 17, 2018 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Magistrate Judge Eric I. Long on 8/17/2018. On July 17, 2018, Plaintiff filed his Complaint #1 alleging violations of the federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec 2310, et seq. Plaintiff's Complaint also asserted several Illinois state law claims. On August 16, 2018, the parties filed a "Stipulation to Remand Action to the State Court" #9 . The stipulation states that the parties agree and stipulate that, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec 1447(c), this action "shall be remanded to the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Champaign County, Illinois, due to jurisdictional issues between the parties." 28 U.S.C. Sec 1447(c) governs the procedure for remanding a case back to state court once it has been removed to federal court. This case, however, was initiated in federal court; not removed from state court. Section 1447, therefore, does not apply. The parties do not cite any authority (nor has the Court, through its own research, found any authority) for the type of "reverse removal" that the parties seek. 28 U.S.C. Sections 1441-1455 all deal with the procedures for removing a case that was originally filed in state court to federal court, and then remanding the case back to state court if the federal court does not have or subsequently loses jurisdiction. While the parties indicate that they have "jurisdictional issues," the Complaint #1 contains a claim under a federal statute, the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec 2310, and therefore the Court, at this time, has jurisdiction over this case. See 28 U.S.C. Sec 1331. Thus, the Court has no authority to "remand" a case to the Champaign County Court that did not originate there. This case remains pending in this Court. (KE, ilcd)
