Date Filed Document Text
November 2, 2023 Opinion or Order ORDER REMANDING CASE -- In his letter motion dated October 3, 2023, pro se Plaintiff Israel Meir Farkash "urge[s] the court to either remand the case back to the state court or, as an alternative, to extend the deadline for filing the motion to remand." See ECF No. 8 at 2. Plaintiff Farkash notes, inter alia, that the notice of removal "lacks the required consent from all defendants to transition the case to federal jurisdiction, as required under [28 U.S.C. 1446(b)(2)(A)]." See ECF No. 8 at 1. A review of the record reflects that the appearing parties agree that Defendants Sol Fischer, Yakov Anisfeld, and JDA Holdings LLC have not demonstrated that all Defendants consented to removal of this action. See ECF No. 7 at 2; ECF No. 8 at 1; ECF No. 12 at 1. Plaintiff Farkash's motion, liberally construed -- in light of Plaintiff Farkash's pro se status -- as a motion to remand, is granted. See 28 U.S.C. 1446(b)(2)(A), 1447(c). This case is remanded to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings, Index No. 522123/2023.
