moved to remand, and Defendants moved to dismiss. On April 12, the Court concluded that some of Plaintiffs' claims were precluded by SLUSA and granted in part Defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint. Plaintiffs were granted leave to amend to avoid inadvertently pled federal claims. The Court deferred determination of Plaintiffs' motion for remand pending Plaintiffs' amendment. On May 5, 2010, Plaintiffs requested consideration of their motion for remand and provided a copy of the first amended complaint. On May 28, 2010, Defendants submitted a statement of non-opposition to Plaintiffs' renewed request to remand. Good cause therefor appearing, the motion to remand will be granted. The Clerk shall transmit the file to the Santa Clara Superior Court. IT IS SO ORDERED
