U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan granted James’ request to return her lawsuit to the New York state court where she had filed it on Feb. 16.

He rejected Amazon’s request to move the lawsuit to Brooklyn federal court, where the company had sued James four days earlier to stop her from suing.

Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. James’ office had no immediate comment.
