IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD B FOX,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

BLUE SHIELD OF CALIFORNIA,

Defendant. /

No. C07-02502 MJJ

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION FOR REMAND

Before the Court is Plaintiff Richard B. Fox, M.D.’s (“Plaintiff”) Motion for Remand to State

Court.1 Defendant Blue Shield of California Life & Health Insurance Company (“Blue Shield”) has

filed a Statement of Non-Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion.2

 The Court has not received a submission

from individual Defendant Devin Good.

Blue Shield’s Notice of Removal relies on 29 U.S.C. § 1132(e)(1), which grants exclusive

jurisdiction to the district courts of the United States in certain ERISA matters. (Notice of Removal,

¶ 8) Blue Shield has been unable to locate documents supporting their notice of removal, and now

consents to remand. (Statement of Non-Opposition, ¶ 1.) Because the Court has nothing before it to

support jurisdiction under 29 U.S.C. § 1132(e)(1), Plaintiff’s Motion for Remand is GRANTED.

The Court REMANDS this matter to state court.
