(July 31, 2017, 11:41 AM EDT) -- SAN FRANCISCO — A California magistrate judge on July 7 granted a motion to remand to state court a lawsuit alleging elder abuse and negligence against a Walnut Creek, Calif., nursing facility and its agents and denied the defendants’ motion to strike the complaint, saying that the defendants added to the plaintiffs’ complaint make key decisions about the facility and were not added solely to defeat diversity jurisdiction (Judy Wolff-Bolton v. Manor Care-Tice Valley CA, LLC, No. 17-cv-02405, N.D. Calif., 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 105416)....
