UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HONG LI GONG, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

MACK TRUCKS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 3:19-cv-00257-SI 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

REMAND AND DISMISSING 

DEFENDANT

Re: Dkt. Nos. 9, , 16, , 17

Plaintiffs moved to remand this action, based on lack of diversity jurisdiction (Dkt. No. 9). 

Defendants’ opposition brief (Dkt. No. 16) represented that the non-diverse defendant (“GMC 

Oakland Truck Center”) is nowhere reflected as a business entity in the California Secretary of 

State’s records or the records of Alameda County and was a sham defendant. Based on that 

representation, plaintiffs withdrew their remand motion (Dkt. No. 17). Accordingly, plaintiffs’

motion to remand is DENIED and defendant GMC Oakland Truck Center is DISMISSED from this 

action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 6, 2019
