United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOHN MOFFETT,

Plaintiff,

v.

ZIMMER, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 12-cv-03445-WHO 

ORDER REMANDING CASE TO 

STATE COURT

After nearly four years of litigation in federal court, the parties now agree that there is no 

subject matter jurisdiction over this case. Accordingly, the case is REMANDED to the Superior 

Court of California, County of San Francisco. See 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) (“If at any time before 

final judgment it appears that the district court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the case shall be 

remanded.”); see also Albingia Versicherungs A.G. v. Schenker Int’l Inc., 344 F.3d 931, 938 (9th 

Cir. 2003) (noting that 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) “means that if there is no jurisdiction – federal 

question, supplemental, diversity, or otherwise – the district court must remand the removed case 

rather than dismissing it”). 

Defendants’ motion for summary judgment, Dkt. No. 40, is DENIED AS MOOT. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 25, 2016
