Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a), Plaintiffs Thomas W. Redmon d/b/a St.

the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Napa., Case No. 26-17325.

filed a Notice of Removal to this Court on May 3, 2006.

(“Remand Motion”). 

4. On June 21, 2006, the Court entered a Stipulation and Order, vacating

action pending in the Circuit Court of Barbour County (“Alabama Action”), covering the claims

asserted in this action and in related actions throughout the country (“National Settlement”).

5. On September 5, 2006, the Court in the Alabama Action entered an order 

preliminarily approving the National Settlement.

approval to the Nationwide Settlement on January 23, 2007. A copy of the final approval order is
