              Defendant - Appellant.

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Central District of California
                   Philip S. Gutierrez, District Judge, Presiding

                      Argued and Submitted August 30, 2013
                              Pasadena, California

Before: GOULD and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges, and LEMELLE, District
Judge.**

      We conclude that Plaintiff’s petition for coordination was not a proposal to

try the cases jointly. See Judith Romo, et al. v. Teva Pharmaceutical USA, Inc.,

No. 13-80036 (9th Cir., Sept. 24, 2013). We AFFIRM the district court’s order

granting Plaintiffs’ motion to remand.

       **
             The Honorable Ivan L.R. Lemelle, District Judge for the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, sitting by designation.
