where it will go no further - "Defendants have given Plaintiff exactly what she asked for in the FAC'.

"The Court therefore REMANDS this case to Los Angeles Superior Court."


In this context, "remand" means that this Court divests itself of jurisdiction and returns this case to the Los Angeles Superior Court, where Plaintiff first filed the lawsuit. (See ECFNo. 1.)

See Polo v. Innoventions Int'l, LLC, 833 F.3d 1193, 1196(9th Cir. 2016).
