1Opinion of the Court
WILLIAM A. FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:
Defendant Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) appeals a district court order awarding attorneys’ fees to plaintiffs Susan Kanter and Sharon Plunk (“Plaintiffs”) under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c). The district court awarded those fees after Pfizer and its three co-defendants removed Plaintiffs’ state-law class action from California court and the district court remanded. Because we agree with the district court that removal was improper, we affirm its award of attorneys’ fees.
