NOTICE OF REMOVAL OF ACTION TO FEDERAL COURT
DEFENDANTS’ TIMELY REMOVAL AND PROPER JURISDICTION
1. On October 7, 2014, an action was filed in the Superior Court of
California, County of Los Angeles, by Plaintiffs Ana Z. Machuca, Luis G.
Hernandez, and Stephanie M. Hernandez (collectively “Plaintiffs”) entitled “ANA
Z. MACHUCA, an individual; LUIS G. HERNANDEZ, an individual; and
STEPHANIE M. HERNANDEZ, an individual, by and through their Guardian Ad
Litem, Ana Z. Machuca v. LOS ANGELES WORLD AIRPORTS; CITY OF LOS
ANGELES; THE AIRPORT POLICE AT LOS ANGELES; LOS ANGELES
POLICE DEPARTMENT; LOS ANGELES FIRE DEPARTMENT; COUNTY OF
LOS ANGELES; and DOES 1 – 100,” case number BC560012. Attached hereto as
Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of the State Court Complaint, which includes a
Summons that was served on Defendant City of Los Angeles, Civil Case Cover
Sheet, Civil Case Cover Sheet Addendum and Statement of Location, and Notice of
Case Assignment.
2. To date, all named Defendants have been served with Plaintiffs’
Complaint and consent to this removal. Defendants City of Los Angeles, Los
Angeles Airport Police, and Los Angeles Police Department were all served with
the Summons and Complaint on November 25, 2014. Defendant Los Angeles Fire
Department was served with the Summons and Complaint on December 1, 2014.
Defendant Los Angeles World Airports, which is a department of the City of Los
Angeles, accepted service when the Complaint was served on the City of Los
Angeles on November 25, 2014. All of the City Defendants consent to removal.
Attached hereto as Exhibit B are true and correct copies of the Summons served on
Defendants City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Airport Police, Los Angeles Police
Department, and Los Angeles Fire Department.
3. Defendants have contacted the other named and served Defendant
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, who has consented to the removal. The County of

NOTICE OF REMOVAL OF ACTION TO FEDERAL COURT
4. Defendants are unaware if any other defendants have been served with
the Complaint. Defendants do not need to join all other defendants in this action
that have not yet been served. See Destfino v. Reiswig, 630 F.3d 952, 957 (9th Cir.
2011) (holding removal was not defective when a defendant failed to join
improperly served defendants to the notice of removal).
5. Defendants’ Notice of Removal is timely. In cases where removal
based on federal question jurisdiction is proper, a defendant’s thirty-day removal
period “commences upon receipt of the complaint by an authorized representative,
through formal service of process or other informal means of actual notice.”
Spielman v. Standard Ins. Co., 932 F. Supp. 2d 246, 248 (N.D. Cal. 1996). Because
Defendants were served on November 25, 2014 and December 1, 2014, this
removal is timely pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1446(a).
6. This action was filed in the Superior Court of California for the
County of Los Angeles. Thus, venue properly lies in the United States District
Court for the Central District of California, Western Division, and this action may
be removed to this Court pursuant to 28 U.SC. § 1441(a).
7. This Court has original jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331. This
action may be removed pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a), in that it
is a civil action that presents a federal question.
8. This Court has federal question jurisdiction over this civil action under
18 U.S.C. § 37 because Plaintiffs’ action involves “a person who unlawfully and
intentionally, using any device, substance, or weapon—perform[ed] an act of
violence against a person at an airport serving international civil aviation that
cause[d] or is likely to cause serious bodily injury . . . or death . . . .” 18 U.S.C. §
37(a)(1). There is federal jurisdiction over this matter because the prohibited act of
violence took place at an airport in the United States, specifically Los Angeles
International Airport (“LAX”). 18 U.S.C. § 37(b)(1); see Compl. ¶¶ 16–17,
attached hereto as Exhibit A. Plaintiffs’ allegations arise from a shooting that

occurred at Terminal 3 of LAX on November 1, 2013. See Compl. ¶ 16. Plaintiffs
claim that Paul Ciancia carried a bag filled with a semiautomatic rifle and
ammunition into LAX and shot and killed Plaintiffs’ husband and father Gerardo
Ismael Hernandez. See Compl. ¶¶ 15, 17. Thus, Plaintiffs’ claims—which are all
based on this same set of facts, events, transactions, and occurrences—involve a
person who unlawfully and intentionally, using a weapon, performed an act of
violence at an airport that caused serious bodily injury or death, and federal
jurisdiction is proper pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §37(b)(1).
9. This Court has supplemental jurisdiction over all other claims in
Plaintiffs’ Complaint because these claims are based on the same facts, events,
transactions, and occurrences and are so related to Plaintiffs’ claims under 18
U.S.C. § 37 that they form part of the same case or controversy under Article III of
the United States Constitution. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). Alternatively, the Court
has jurisdiction of the remaining claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441(c).
10. Defendants will promptly serve a copy of this Notice of Removal on
counsel for Plaintiffs and will file a copy of this Notice of Removal with the Clerk
of the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1446(d).
