NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TAMMY MARTINEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

FIRST TRANSIT, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 18-cv-04528-SI 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On June 11, 2018, plaintiff Tammy Martinez filed the instant action in Contra Costa 

County Superior Court. Dkt. No. 1. Defendants removed the case on July 26, 2018, some fortyfive days later. Id. Defendants correctly note that removal must be effected within thirty days of 

defendants’ receipt of the complaint, but defendants’ notice of removal does not state when they 

initially received the complaint. Hence, it is not possible to determine whether removal was 

timely.

Defendants are hereby ORDERED to show cause regarding timely removal, by filing a 

declaration stating when defendant(s) first received “an initial pleading setting forth the claim for 

relief upon which such action or proceeding is based.” 28 U.S.C. § 1446(b). Defendants must file 

and serve upon plaintiff a response no later than August 13, 2018. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 9, 2018
