v.
ADVANCED DRAINAGE SYSTEMS,
INC.,

APPROVING STIPULATION OF PARTIES
AND REMANDING CASE TO THE KERN
COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT

Defendant.

16

This matter was removed to this court from Kern County Superior Court on June 12, 2017

17
18

on the basis of diversity under the Class Action Fairness Act (“CAFA”). (Doc. No. 1.) On July

19

7, 2017, plaintiff filed a motion to remand, claiming that the amount in controversy, which under

20

CAFA must exceed $5 million, was not satisfied in this case. (Doc. No. 5.) The court heard oral

21

argument on this motion on August 15, 2017. (Doc. No. 19.) On February 13, 2018, the parties

22

filed a stipulation noting that they had settled the matter for an amount less than the jurisdictional

23

threshold under CAFA, and jointly requested that this court remand the case back to the Kern

24

County Superior Court. (Doc. No. 24.)
