UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION,
Defendant.

ORDER DENYING STIPULATION TO
"ADD CASE TO SAN FRANCISCO
SUPERIOR COURT ACTION"
Re: Dkt. No. 28

United States District Court
Northern District of California

The proposed order submitted by the parties to "add case to San Francisco Superior Court
action" is denied. This court has no authority to add a party to an action in state court. If the

14
parties wish to submit a stipulated dismissal of this case, the court will approve it. And if the
15
16

parties wish to propose adding Union Carbide to the state court action, they may submit that

17

proposal to the state court. But what happens in the state court action is none of this court's

18

business.

19

IT IS SO ORDERED.
