On April 20, 2017, defendant Midland Funding, LLC, removed this matter from state

15

court based on both federal question and diversity jurisdiction. The Court ordered defendant to

16

show cause why the case should not be remanded for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.1

17

Defendant does not oppose remand. The Clerk of Court is therefore directed to remand this

18

matter to Snohomish County Superior Court.

Following entry of the Order to Show cause, defendant filed a corporate disclosure statement
that conflicts with the information provided in the Notice of Removal. The Court therefore retracts its
statement that “Midland Funding is . . . a citizen of Delaware, and diversity has been established.” Dkt.
