This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
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.
The Honorable Ivan L.R. Lemelle, District Judge for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, sitting by designation.
--------
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.
Gould, Circuit Judge, dissenting:
I respectfully dissent for the same reasons expressed in the dissent to the majority opinion in Romo v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, No. 13-56310.
