ORDER AND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

On December 22, 2015, plaintiff filed a wrongful death claim in Sacramento 

Superior Court. ECF No. 1-1. On March 10, 2016, the case was removed to this federal court on 

the basis of 28 U.S.C. § 2679(d)(2), because defendants Laura Yeager, Nadar Araj, and Donald 

Engel allegedly were acting within the course and scope of their federal employment at all times

was substituted into this action, thereby terminating Yeager, Araj, and Engel from the case. See

ECF No. 4. 

On March 30, 2016, plaintiff and the United States stipulated to dismiss the United 

States from this action. ECF No. 8. This left as defendants Richard Rabe, Charlotte Clark and

of dismissal, plaintiff requested the court remand this case to state court; the United States took 

no position on remand. ECF No. 8. 

The United States is DISMISSED from this action, without prejudice. 

Considering the case now involves a state law claim against state law defendants, 

defendants are hereby ordered to show cause within fourteen (14) days why this case should not 

be remanded to state court for lack of jurisdiction. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
