UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 3470 Twelfth Street, Riverside, CA 92501 CIVIL MINUTES -- GENERAL Case No. Title: ED CV 08-01687-SGL(PLAx) Date: November 24, 2008 FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORP., ET AL. -v- CLARENCE DIBBETS, ET AL. ========================================================================== = PRESENT: HONORABLE STEPHEN G. LARSON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Jim Holmes Courtroom Deputy Clerk ATTORNEYS PRESENT FOR PLAINTIFFS: None present None Present Court Reporter ATTORNEYS PRESENT FOR DEFENDANTS: None present ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE PROCEEDINGS: The Court has received and reviewed defendant's November 20, 2008, notice of removal, seeking to remove to this Court an unlawful detainer action filed by plaintiff in Riverside County Superior Court (and which the Court also notes it appears a prejudgment writ of execution has been entered by the state court, giving authority to the local law enforcement officials to evict defendant from the premises by today, November 24, 2008, which if executed, would potentially render the complaint removed as well as much of the arguments raised in the removal moot). In the notice, defendant makes an unintelligible argument citing to a diverse sources of authorities (be it treaties, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, or California's Sunshine Law) that such unlawful detainer actions somehow would be a violation of his rights as an independent Sovereign. Without any clear articulation on precisely how such a state law civil action in fact would result in such a violation of defendant's constitutional rights, there is no basis upon which the Court has jurisdiction to hear this matter. Accordingly, given the substantial questions that exists as to whether this Court has jurisdiction to hear this matter, defendant is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE within seven (7) days of the date of this Order why this case should not be remanded to state court. Defendant's failure to timely respond to the Order to Show Cause shall be considered by the Court as a failure to prosecute this matter and will result in the summary remand of the matter to state court.
