v.

Case No. 17-cv-01551-MMC
ORDER DENYING WITHOUT
PREJUDICE PLAINTIFFS’ MOTIONS
FILED MAY 12, 2017

FLUENT, INC., et al.,
Defendants.

Re: Dkt. Nos. 27, 28, 29

12
13

Before the Court are three motions filed by plaintiffs on May 12, 2017: (1) “Motion

14

to Correct Names of Doe Defendants”; (2) “Motion to Substitute Name of Defendant,” and

15

(3) “Amended Motion to Remand to California Superior Court, and Request for Costs.”

16

The first two motions seek, in essence, to amend plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint,

17

and the third motion seeks to revise plaintiffs’ pending motion to remand on the basis of

18

such amendments.

19

For the reasons stated in the Court’s order of May 11, 2017, and to avoid

20

potentially unnecessary briefing, the above-referenced three motions are hereby DENIED

21

without prejudice to refiling after the Court has resolved the issue of whether diversity

22

jurisdiction existed at the time of removal.

23
24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
