United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAULA DONALD,

Plaintiff,

v.

XANITOS, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-05416-WHO 

ORDER REQUESTING 

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING

REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR LEAVE TO AMEND

Re: Dkt. No. 22

This order concerns plaintiff Paula Donald’s motion for leave to amend, currently set for 

hearing on April 15, 2015. Dkt. No. 22. In her reply in support of the motion, Donald asserts that 

even if diversity jurisdiction is eliminated, subject matter jurisdiction “may” still exist under the 

Class Action Fairness Act (“CAFA”). Dkt. No. 27 at 8-9. Because this issue was not raised until 

Donald’s reply, defendant Xanitos, Inc. has not had an opportunity to address it. Accordingly, by 

April 8, 2015, the parties shall file supplemental briefs, not to exceed five pages each, addressing 

whether this Court would have subject matter jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to CAFA if 

there is no diversity jurisdiction. The hearing on Donald’s motion for leave to amend remains set 

for April 15, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 1, 2015
