Subsequent to removal, Foster Wheeler conferred with counsel for the plaintiffs

2
3

regarding the removal. Foster Wheeler now wishes to place the case back into state court.

4 Foster Wheeler therefore moves this court for remand of this matter to Pierce County Superior
5 Court.

After agreeing with counsel for plaintiffs to move for remand, Foster Wheeler
conferred with counsel for all defendants and has confirmed there is no opposition to this

8
9
10

motion to remand, and that all parties stipulate to remand.
All parties stipulate that this motion is not based on the merits of Foster Wheeler's

11 removal of the case to this court, and that the removal is sought without prejudice to any future
12

removal action. The parties do not intend for this motion or the requested remand to be

13
14

binding upon any other party's right to remove the case or assert federal jurisdiction or federal

15 defenses.
