Case: Wage & Hour/Private Attorneys General Act (C.D. Cal.)

A federal district court granted an employee’s motion to remand his Private Attorneys General Act claim for violations of California Labor Code against Albertsons LLC back to state court, finding that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction because the claims weren’t preempted by the Labor Management Relations Act, the amount in controversy didn’t exceed the $75,000 threshold for diversity jurisdiction, and supplemental jurisdiction could not serve as a basis for removal.
