STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR DISMISSAL OF THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT CAUSE 

OF ACTION WITH PREJUDICE AND REMAND TO STATE COURT 

Plaintiffs BRIAN COLEMAN and KARI ANN COLEMAN (“Plaintiffs”) and defendant 

GREEN TREE SERVICING LLC (“Defendant”), hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

WHEREAS Plaintiffs’ original Complaint asserted causes of action under the Fair Debt 

Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692, et seq. (“FDCPA”) and California Rosenthal Fair Debt 

Collection Practices Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 1788, et seq. (“Rosenthal Act”) (Doc. No. 1 at Ex. A.); 

WHEREAS Defendant timely removed the Complaint to this Court based on federal 

question jurisdiction (Doc No. 1); 

WHEREAS In response to Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss the Complaint pursuant to 

Federal Rule 12(b)(6), Plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint (“FAC”) that omits the FDCPA 

cause of action (Doc. No. 8); 

WHEREAS Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 

Plaintiffs and Defendant stipulate that the FDCPA cause of action is dismissed with prejudice;

WHEREAS Because the Rosenthal Act cause of action is the only remaining cause of 

action in the case, Plaintiffs and Defendant further stipulate and request an Order remanding the 

case to the Superior Court of California, County of Tulare, where the action was originally filed;

WHEREAS Defendant shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the entry of the attached 

Order to respond to the FAC.

Based on the foregoing, it is hereby STIPULATED that:

1) Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the 

FDCPA cause of action is dismissed with prejudice; 

2) The action is remanded to the Superior Court of California, County of Tulare; 

3) Defendant shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the entry of the attached 

Order to respond to the FAC; and

4) Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs associated with the dismissal 

of Plaintiffs’ FDCPA cause of action and the resulting remand to Superior Court.
