JAMES RUKSTALIS, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
AMERICAN ZURICH INSURANCE
COMPANY, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 26-cv-02459-EKL
ORDER REMANDING CASE
Re: Dkt. Nos. 51, 52
On October 5, 2026, the Court granted Plaintiffs leave to amend the complaint to join Sean
Lemmon as a defendant. ECF No. 51. Plaintiffs have now filed the amended complaint. ECF
No. 52. Because the joinder of Lemmon deprives the Court of diversity jurisdiction and there is
no other basis for subject matter jurisdiction, this case is REMANDED to Santa Clara County
Superior Court. The Clerk is instructed to close the file.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: October 7, 2026
