RECITALS On or about May 29, 2009, Plaintiffs commenced the above-captioned removed action in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda. The case is styled Alonso Ruiz de Velasco et al v. Morten Jensen et al., and assigned case number RG 09-455042 in the Alameda County Superior Court. B. Defendants removed the action to this Court on or about June 26, 2009, on the basis that the case is a civil action between citizens of different states and the matter in controversy exceeds the sum of $75,000, exclusive of interest and costs. C. Section 1441(b) provides, however, that a civil action may be removable on the basis of diversity jurisdiction only if none of the parties in interest properly joined and served as defendants is a citizen of the State in which such action is brought. D. Both Defendants are citizens of California. STIPULATION WHEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 1. Because there are no federal claims alleged in Plaintiffs' Complaint in the removed action, and because Defendants are citizens of California, Plaintiffs have asserted, and Defendants agree, that the case should be ordered remanded back to the Alameda County Superior Court, without the necessity of Plaintiffs having to move this Court for such relief. 2. It is requested that the Court enter an Order remanding the case to the Alameda County Superior Court, so that the case may be tried on its merits in that forum. 2 ______________________________________________________________________________ STIPULATION FOR REMAND Case3:09-cv-02888-JCS Document4 Filed07/17/09 Page3 of 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 DATED: July 13, 2009 MANASIAN & ROUGEAU LLP By /s/ Gregory A.
