United States Ninth Circuit

In shareholder derivative suits alleging that a corporation's executive compensation policies violated state law, the district court's orders dismissing portions of each case and remanding the remaining portions for lack of jurisdiction are vacated and remanded, where: 1) none of defendants' arguments in favor of federal jurisdiction are persuasive; and 2) removal of these cases was improper and the district court lacked jurisdiction to do anything other than remand them to state court.
