22 The 9th Circuit, like the Court below, rushed to close the court door on Appellants. The Court
23
records demonstrate that Appellee have not filed any opposition or any Motion to Remand. No Judge
24
has held any hearing or ruled on any of arguments. The En Banc consideration is necessary to
25
restore Right to Judicial process and to restore Access to Justice.

9 has continued due to systematic denial of Access to Justice; as the Court is denying
10 Judicial process. This is another lawsuit by San Joaquin that is obviously malicious
11
and is removed to the federal court. The record shows no Motion to Remand filed by
12
San Joaquin; No United States Judge held any Jurisdictional or Evidentiary or
13
cursory hearing. Yet electronic orders arrived via internet with names of Judges
14
16 lower court without any legal or factual guidance on any of the matters including
17
the following;
18
A. Appellant’s Right to Jury Trial as clearly stated in the Notice of Removal.
19
B. The specific Local Rules of District Court are unconscious, or unconstitutional
20
21 and deny access to Justice as no Judge holds any hearing. Governor is giving
22 money to illegal aliens for Access to Justice but denies such money to lawful
23
Americans.
24
C. Ruling Janta of San Joaquin County is taking people’s property without a judge
25
order via a court stamp as many such courts stamps are in circulation.

9 This is yet another matter where appellees/ San Joaquin County Hospital,
10 while acting under color of state law, is defying the United States Courts by its
11
Failure to Appear in the Court. The honorable Commissioner noted in the
12
order “there is no appearance by appellee”. Appellee’s inaction is intentional,
13
disrespectful to the United States Court(s) and is meant to deprive Appellant
14
access to the Court; a forum to resolve differences. The Hospital did not file
15
16 any opposition to the complaint and this is reasonably believed that appellees/
17 Hospital do not dispute any of the allegations. In such matter this Court may
18 issue default judgment to Appellant or grant any other relief so the family can
19
proceed with their careers and lives. This Court may compel Hospital’s
20
appearance by issuing a briefing schedule and by setting a hearing date.

5. Appellants received an order Dated Jan 22 via internet by with the name of

evidentiary hearing. The court did not address the lack of judicial process that

3 8. A few years ago, in a hearing before Eastern District of California, Mr. Mark

Myles admitted that “San Joaquin” owed ERISA money. According, this lawsuit
5
relates to administration of ERISA requires application of ERISA complete

preemption doctrine.

B. ERISA Preemption - Cisco Systems
9
9. Over a decade ago, the Petitioner filed a state law Civil Rights action against
10
Cisco Systems in a local county court in the silicon valley (Rehan Sheikh v Cisco
11
12 Systems CA9 No; 10 – 17098 (2012) . The Cisco removed that action to the
13 United States court alleging ERISA Preemption even when alleged ERISA
14
benefits had been previously resolved via a state litigation because those
15
benefits were governed via state law. In that matter, the United States Court on
16
its own exercised supplemental Jurisdiction over all state law claims.
17
18 10. In this matter (San Joaquin), If somehow a united states judge determines that
19 this lawsuit does not ‘relates to’ or involves administration of ERISA, then in
20
order for uniform procedure, the court can exercise supplementary jurisdiction
21
over all state law claims.

10 18. The applicable Standard of Review is de novo and no such review has been
11

court to federal court de novo. Emrich v. Touche Ross & Co., 846 F.2d 1190, 1194

16 19. In a recent Court decision where Eastern District declined Jurisdiction, Ricky

Court noted (P4) “Reviewing the district court’s remand order de novo”. Because

23. Plaintiff seeks a declaratory relief that Local Rules 302, and 303 including but

21 not limited to Local Rule 302 (c) (21) are unconstitutional. The Local Rules deny

20 26. Obviously San Joaquin has not filed the Motion to Remand is a telling sign that

10 29. The Court can take simple steps; e.g. The Court can grant a Jurisdictional

Hearing and evidentiary hearing. The Court can issue a briefing schedule and

set up a hearing date so that San Joaquin Hospital can present its opposition.
