No. C 15-00822 WHA

v.
NATIONWIDE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF AMERICA, et al.,

NOTICE REGARDING
SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING

Defendants.
/

15
16

In this breach of contract action, plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss without prejudice

17

pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2). Defendants filed their opposition, and plaintiff responded (Dkt.

18

Nos. 15, 24). The parties seem to assume that adding in Golden Gate Tow, Inc., a California

19

company, at this stage would destroy diversity and the Court’s jurisdiction. While it would

20

destroy diversity, the Court questions whether it would destroy jurisdiction, given that

21

jurisdiction is currently proper.

22

By FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 2015, AT NOON, the parties shall please respond with on-point

23

authority as to whether a case properly removed on the basis of diversity must be dismissed upon

24

subsequent lack of diversity. Responses shall not exceed TWO PAGES.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
