Judge: Armen Tamzarian, Case: 24STCV09973, Date: 2024-10-28 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 24STCV09973    Hearing Date: October 28, 2024    Dept: 52

Plaintiff Zhiwei Chen’s Motion for Reconsideration

Plaintiff Zhiwei Chen moves the court to reconsider its order dated September 24, 2024.  On June 24, 2024, defendant Allstate Northbrook Indemnity Company filed a notice of removal to federal court.  On September 24, this court issued an order stating, “This case is now recorded as completed as the matter has not been remanded to the trial court within ninety (90) days from the Notice of Removal.”  Plaintiff argues that order should be vacated because, in the federal proceeding, plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case to state court, which remains pending.  (Chen Decl., Ex. A.)  That is not a sufficient basis to reconsider the prior order.  If the federal court grants plaintiff’s motion to remand the case to this court, this proceeding will be reopened.  Reconsidering or vacating the September 24 order is unnecessary.

Plaintiff Zhiwei Chen’s motion for reconsideration is denied.
