IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TWILA HARTFORD, et. al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

ATLAS TURNER, INC., et al. 

Defendants.

 /

No. C 05-0202 SBA

ORDER

On June 17, 2005, the Court issued a stay pending finalization of a Conditional Transfer Order

issued by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the "MDL Panel"). On June 21, 2005, Plaintiffs and

the sole removing Defendant, McDonnell Douglas Corporation (“MDC”), submitted a stipulation requesting

that the Court lift the stay, allow MDC to be dismissed from the action with prejudice, and remand the

action to state court.

Because the Court retains jurisdiction pending a final transfer determination by the MDL Panel and

because the Court is informed that no final determination has been made, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED

THAT the stay imposed by the Court is lifted. Pursuant to Plaintiffs’ and MDC’s stipulation, MDC is

dismissed from the action with prejudice. Because the sole removing Defendant has been dismissed, the

Court REMANDS the action to the San Francisco Superior Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
