United States Ninth Circuit

In a breach of contract action concerning an Independent Retail Brokerage Service Agreement, the District Court's order remanding the action to state court is affirmed, as Plaintiffs' motion to remand was based on a forum selection clause and thus was not subject to the thirty-day requirement of 28 U.S.C. section 1447(c).
