Re: Dkt. No. 1
Defendants.

Defendants removed this employment discrimination case to federal court on June 9,

19 2014. Defendants’ stated basis for removal is diversity jurisdiction. Although defendants
20 have sufficiently pointed to allegations in the complaint showing that the amount in
21 controversy exceeds $75,000, the Court requires additional briefing to determine whether
22 diversity jurisdiction exists, given that both plaintiff and two of the named defendants are
23 citizens of California. Therefore, defendants must show cause within fourteen days of this
24 order, in a brief not to exceed ten pages, why this action should not be remanded to state
25 court for lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction. Plaintiff must respond or state its
26 nonopposition, in a brief not to exceed ten pages, within seven days of defendants’
27 submission.
