Text: 6 In Brandchaft v. E.F. Hutton & Co., 841 F.2d 886 (9th Cir.1988), this court held that Bryant v. Ford Motor Co., 832 F.2d 1080, (9th Cir.1987) (en banc) does not require remand in cases where 'Doe' defendants were stricken by the district court prior to the November 6, 1987 decision in Bryant. In the present case, on April 6, 1987 the court ordered the dismissal by its own motion of all defendants who had not been served. Excerpt of Record (E.R.) tab 16 at 2. Accordingly, all Doe defendants were dismissed before Bryant was decided. Therefore the district court had diversity jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1332 (1982), and our jurisdiction rests on 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 (1982).
