(In Chambers) Order re: (1) Dismissing All But Named Plaintiff and (2)
Remanding Action

On October 14, 2014, we ordered Plaintiffs to show cause why all but the first named Plaintiff,
Stevie Bradford, should not be dismissed without prejudice on account of their improper joinder in this
action. [Dkt. 9.] We warned Plaintiffs that failure to timely and adequately respond to our OSC would
be deemed their admission that they have been improperly joined and, in that event, the claims of all but
the named Plaintiff would be dismissed without prejudice. The docket reflects that no such response has
been filed. Pursuant to our OSC, Plaintiffs are DEEMED to have admitted that they have been
improperly joined in this action. The sole remaining Plaintiff in this action is Stevie Bradford. The
claims of the 314 other Plaintiffs are hereby DISMISSED without prejudice.

We also required Defendants to show cause why this action as to that single Plaintiff should not
be remanded because it was improperly removed as a “mass action” under CAFA. We warned
Defendants that their failure to timely and adequately show cause as required by our Order would be
deemed their admission that remand is proper. Defendants’ deadline to respond to our OSC has passed,
and they have failed to respond. Accordingly, this action is hereby REMANDED to the state court
from which it was removed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
