United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID RESOVSKY, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

CORDIS CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-03082-EMC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Defendant Coris Corporation removed the instant case on June 6, 2016, asserting that the 

Court has jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) of 2005. See Docket No. 1 

(Not. of Removal) at ¶ 18. Coris Corporation’s removal was based on a motion for consolidation 

filed in Superior Court Case No. RG16814166 (the “Quinn” action), which sought to consolidate 

eight actions for pre-trial purposes and the institution of a bellwether-trial process. Id. at ¶ 12. It 

is unclear that this Court has jurisdiction, as based on the record it does not appear that the cases 

were consolidated, see Docket No. 18 (Mayer Dec.), Exh. A, and it currently seems that only the 

instant action is before this Court, with only seven plaintiffs named in the First Amended 

Complaint. Docket No. 16-1.

1

 The parties are to file briefing explaining why the Court has 

jurisdiction over this case by Thursday, July 21, 2016 at 12:00 p.m. PST.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 18, 2016
