IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

REGINALD EDWARD/ELLIS,

Plaintiff,

 v.

NEW UNITED MOTORS

MANUFACTURING INC., and DOES 1–13,

Defendants. /

No. C 07-05452 WHA

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY

THIS ACTION SHOULD NOT BE

REMANDED

On October 25, 2007, defendants filed a notice of removal in this action. It was based

on the grounds that plaintiff’s breach-of-contract claim is central to, inextricably intertwined

with, and substantially dependent upon an interpretation of the terms of a collective bargaining

agreement. They argue that the breach-of-contract claim is therefore preempted by Section 301

of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. 185.

Parties are ordered to show cause whether this Court has jurisdiction over this action. 

Defendants should identify what provisions of any collective bargaining agreement that would

need to be interpreted in this action. Parties’ submissions should not exceed five double-spaced

pages and must be submitted no later than MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2007, at NOON.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 13, 2007.
