COURT 

WHEREAS, on December 3, 2019, Plaintiffs GREAT NORTHERN 

INSURANCE COMPANY, as subrogee of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP filed 

their Complaint for Damages in the Superior Court of the State of California, in and 

for that County of Alameda, Case No. RG19045359; 

WHEREAS, on or about January 31, 2020, Defendant FLUIDMASTER, INC. 

filed in state court both an answer to Plaintiff’s Complaint and a Cross-Complaint; 

WHEREAS, on or about January 31, 2020, FLUIDMASTER, INC. filed in 

the United States District Court, the Northern District of California, Notice of 

Removal of Action under 28 U.S.C. § 1441(b) on the basis of diversity of Plaintiffs 

and Defendants, assigned Case No. :4:20-cv-00746-PJH.

Plaintiff GREAT NORTHERN INSURANCE COMPANY and Defendant 

CHRONOMITE LABORATORIES, INC., have advised that, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
