Stipulation And [Proposed] Order Regarding Remand 

continuing investigation and discussions with Plaintiff’s counsel, Defendants would like to avoid the 

time and expense associated with a contested motion to remand. Consequently, Defendants will not 

file an opposition to Plaintiff’s motion to remand and, instead, hereby stipulate to the remand of this 

action back to Contra Costa Superior Court. Plaintiff and Defendants further stipulate that sanctions 

are not warranted against either party. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
