On July 20, 2015, defendants removed this action to this federal court from the Kern

21

County Superior Court. (Doc. No. 1.) On May 11, 2017, plaintiffs filed a motion to remand

22

based upon the court’s lack of federal jurisdiction in light of the Ninth Circuit’s recent decision in

23

DB Healthcare, LLC v. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, Inc., 852 F.3d 868 (9th Cir. 2017).

24

(Doc. No. 14-1 at 6–8.) Subsequently, on June 5, 2017, the parties filed a stipulation to remand

25

this action back to the Kern County Superior Court. (Doc. No. 19.)

26

Accordingly,

27

1) Good cause appearing and pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, this action, which was

28

originally assigned Case No. S-1500-CV-284725 in the Kern County Superior Court,

is remanded back to the Kern County Superior Court;
