UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CORRECTIONS USA, a

California Mutual Benefit

Corporation; MIKE JIMENEZ,

as a Representative of the

Members of Corrections USA,

a California Mutual Benefit

Corporation,

NO. CIV. S-07-653 LKK/EFB 

Plaintiffs,

v.

O R D E R

BRIAN DAWE, RICHARD LOUD;

GARY HARKINS; and DOES 1-100,

inclusive,

Defendants.

 /

The court is in receipt of plaintiffs’ proposed orders denying

defendant Harkin and defendant Dawe’s motions to quash service of

summons for lack of personal jurisdiction. This case was removed

to federal court on April 7, 2007. Since the case was removed,

neither defendant Harkin nor Dawe have filed motions to quash in

this case. 

That said, defendant Dawe and Harkins did file motions to

quash in state court prior to removal. Those motions were denied.

The court assumes, but does not know, that plaintiffs now seek to

have this court adopt the state court’s findings regarding the

motions to quash. Plaintiffs fail to inform the court as to the

legal grounds for their request. It is not clear what law or legal

principle allows this court to adopt the state court’s order

denying the motions to quash, which were filed and ruled upon prior

to the notice of removal. 

Accordingly, the court orders as follows:

1. Plaintiffs are to file a supplemental brief within ten

(10) days of the date of this order which sets forth the

legal basis for their proposed orders. 

2. The court DEFERS ruling on the plaintiffs’ two proposed

orders (documents 16 & 17 on docket) until after it has

received plaintiffs’ supplemental briefing. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: May 1, 2007.
