UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAMON VALENZUELA,

Plaintiff,

v.

MAUSER USA, LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00094-LJO-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING DEFENDANTS TO 

FILE SIGNED DECLARATION AND 

RESPONSE TO COMPLAINT

(ECF No. 1-2)

Ramon Valenzuela, (“Plaintiff”) on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, 

filed this action in Merced Superior Court on November 6, 2019, against Mauser USA, LLC, 

BWAY Corporation, and Mauser Packaging Solutions (“Defendants”). (ECF No. 1-4.) On 

January 17, 2020, Defendants Mauser USA, LLC and BWAY Corporation removed this matter 

to the Eastern District of California alleging original and diversity jurisdiction exists. 

Upon review of Defendants’ notice of removal, the Court finds that the Declaration of 

Charles O. Thompson in Support of Defendants Mauser USA, LLC and BWAY Corporation’s 

Notice of Removal is unsigned. (ECF No. 1-2.) Unsigned documents cannot be considered by 

the Court, and the declaration is stricken from the record on that ground. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a); 

Local Rule 131(b). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The unsigned Declaration of Charles O. Thompson in Support of Defendants
