ORDER REMANDING CASE AND
DENYING DEFENDANTS’ EX PARTE
REQUEST
23

25
On March 13, 2017, Plaintiff Iraj Khosroabadi filed this case in Orange County
26
Superior Court, which was removed to this Court on April 7, 2017. (See Dkt. 1 Ex. 1;
27
Dkt. 1.) On February 14, 2018, the Court granted in part Defendants’ motion for
28
summary judgment as to Plaintiff’s civil RICO cause of action, and declined to exercise
-1-
1
supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s remaining causes of action. (Dkt. 93.) The
2
Court delayed remand in light of Plaintiff’s pending motions to compel discovery, and
3
Magistrate Judge Scott’s request that the Court retain jurisdiction while the Social
4
Security Administration produced information responsive to Plaintiff’s subpoenas. (Dkt.
5
96.)
6
Before the Court is Defendants’ ex parte request for dismissal of the case or for an
7
8
order to show cause why the cause should not be dismissed in light of the parties’
9
purported settlement. (Dkt. 102.) Defendants represent that the parties entered into a
10
confidential settlement agreement on March 30, 2018, wherein Defendants agreed to pay
11
Plaintiff and Plaintiff agree to execute a stipulation for dismissal of this action with
12
prejudice. (Id. at 2–3.) Defendants did not attach the settlement to their request. (Id.)
13
Defendants state they have paid Plaintiff the agreed upon amount, but Plaintiff’s counsel
14
has refused to stipulate to dismissal of the action. (Id.) Defendants also request sanctions
15
against Plaintiff’s counsel for failure to dismiss the action. (Id. at 3–4.)
16
Given the parties’ dispute, there is no reason for the Court to retain jurisdiction
17
18
over this matter any longer.1 Accordingly, the Court REMANDS this action to Orange
19
County Superior Court and DENIES Defendants’ ex parte request for dismissal and
20
sanctions.

The Court had previously determined that it would delay remand until April 20, 2018, unless Judge
Scott recommended a later date. But, as evidenced by Defendants’ ex parte request, further litigation in
federal court is not productive.
