NEIL B GOLDBERG,

Plaintiff,

v.

JAMES CAMERON, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:15-cv-02556-RMW 

ORDER REQUESTING 

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING 

REGARDING MOTION TO REMAND

Re: Dkt. No. 19

Before the court is Plaintiff Neil Goldberg’s motion to remand this case to state court. 

Goldberg asserts that on May 21, 2015, he filed in state court a request for partial dismissal that 

dismissed all federal claims from his original complaint. Dkt. No. 19 at 3. He further asserts that 

on May 22, 2015, he filed an amended complaint in state court omitting all federal claims. Id.

The parties’ briefs addressed the question of whether Goldberg’s amended complaint, 

which was filed in state court on May 22, 2015 but was never served on Defendants, requires this 

court to remand the case. The court has taken that question under submission.

Request for Dismissal on May 21 (before filing an amended complaint on May 22) provides a 

separate ground for remand. By September 8, 2015, each side shall file a supplemental brief

addressing how, if at all, Goldberg’s filing of a Request for Dismissal of his federal claims in state 

court on May 21, 2015 affects the pending motion to remand. The briefs shall not exceed five
