On August 13, 2013, the Court ordered Global to show cause why this statutory

20

21 interpleader case should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Dkt. No.
22 25. On September 4, 2013, Global filed a response to the order to show cause, conceding
23 that “it appears that there may be no ‘minimal diversity’ for a 28 U.S.C. Section 1335
24 interpleader case” and stating that it is “prepared to re-file the case in the Sonoma County
25 Superior Court.” Dkt. No. 26 at 2. Global indicated, however, that counsel for the
26 defendant United States has taken the position that there may be federal jurisdiction. Id. at
27 2-3.
