Disposition notice

On November 5, 2026, the district court issued an order adopting in full the magistrate judge's October 14, 2026 findings and recommendations. The court granted Sequoia Equipment Co., Inc.'s motion for leave to file a second amended complaint and directed the plaintiff to file the amended complaint promptly. The court denied CNH Industrial America, LLC's motion to dismiss as moot, citing CDK Global LLC v. Brnovich, 16 F.4th 1266 (9th Cir. 2021), because an amended complaint supersedes the original complaint. The court further ordered that upon filing of the second amended complaint, the action will be remanded to the California Superior Court for the County of Fresno under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(e). No objections to the findings and recommendations were filed within the 14-day period.
