1 ofCalifomia, County ofLos Angeles entitled Joseph Wolfv. City ofLos Angeles, et aI.,2 Superior Court Case No. BC433933. Plaintiff filed his Complaint onMarch 16,2010.3 A true and correct copy ofPlaintiffs Complaint is attached as Exhibit 1, including4 copies of the Civil Case Cover Sheet, Civil Case Cover Sheet Addendum and Statemen5 ofLocation, Notice ofElTata, andNotice ofStatus Conference and Order.6 2. This action meets the original jurisdiction requirements of28 USC 1441(a7 and is removable by Defendants pursuant to 28 USC 1446(a). A case is removable8 from state to federal court ifthe action could have been originally commenced in federa9 court. 28 USC 1441(a); Grubbs v. General Electric Credit Corp., 405 US 699,702

10 (1972). The propriety ofremoval is determined at the time the petition for removal is11 filed by reference to the plaintiffs complaint filed in state court. La Chemise Lacoste v12 Alligator Co., 506 F.2d 339, 343-344 (3d Cir. 1974). When the complaint states a claim13 invoking the original jurisdiction of the federal comi, the action is removable. [d. Und14 the Judicial Code, federal district courts have original jurisdiction over all actions15 brought under 42 USC 1983. See, 28 USC 1343(a)(3). Moreover, the Code confers16 original jurisdiction in the district courts over all actions involving federal questions.17 See, 28 USC 1331.18 3. The gravamen of this action are the federal civil rights claim set forth in the19 first, second, and fifth causes of action ofPlaintiffs Complaint. This claim confers20 original jurisdiction to this Court.21 4. State claims are also asserted in the third, fomih, and sixth causes of action o22 the Complaint. When an action originally filed in state court is removed to federal cour23 the federal tribunal has jurisdiction to determine not only the federal claims but all24 pendent state claims which derive "fi-om a common nucleus of operative fact." United25 Mine Workers v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715, 725, 86 S. Ct. 1130, 16 L. Ed. 2d 218 (1966).26 5.

123456 (See Declaration ofWendy Shapero). The aforementioned defendants all consent to th7 removal. (See Id.) There is no record that the City ofLos Angeles has been served wi8 Plaintiffs Complaint. (See Id. and Declaration of Sonia L. Garcia) Moreover, other

this case. (See Id.)A defendant filing a removal petition only has to get the consent of or seek the

joinder of "all then served defendants." Getty Oil CO/po v. Ins. Co. a/North America,

defendant files its removal petition need not be joined in the notice of removal). Thus,defendants who have not been served when the removal petition is filed need not join i

841 F.2d 1254 (5th Cir. 1988); Salveson v. Western States BankcardAss 'n, 731 F.2d1423, 1429 (9th Cir. 1984) (holding that defendants not served at the time a first-served
