COMPLAINT- CLASS ACTION
NOW INTO COURT, throught undersigned counsel and purs ant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 23 come MP Vista, Inc., Habib Petroleum, Warren’s hell, Inc., Individually
And On Behalf Of` Those Similarly Situated, all of which ARE Flori corporations who

I.--INTRODUCTION I
THE plaintiffs are retail channel partners of the defendants ri o were directed to close
their fuel pumps on May 26, 2004 after Motiva discovered the gasoli 1 e it refined at its Norco
Refinery in Louisiana and distributed in Florida, Mississippi, and Lo isiana was contaminated
with trace amounts of elemental sulfar.
Il.--DEFENDANTS
Defendants here, Motiva Enterprises, LLC and Shell Oil Com any, are a limited liability
company and a business corporation, respectively, both of which are omiciled at 1209 Orange
Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801.
IH.-—JURlSDICTION
This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to the Action Fairness Act
(CAFA) 28 USC 1332(d)(2) because this is a class action in which th re is at least minimal
diversity and the matter in controversy exceeds the sum of Five Milli rr Dollars(S5,000,000.00)
exclusive of interest and costs. I

unduly burdensome on individual class members, defendants, and the •|•urt system. Additionally,
because of the disparity of resources available to individual class mem ti ers, prosecution of
separate actions would work a financial hardship on many class mcmb rs. Finally, a class
certification is appropriate because the prosecution of separate actions it individual members of
the class would create a risk of adjudications with respect to individual members ofthe class that
would be as practical matter be dispositive of the interests of thc other ` iembers not parties to the
adjudications, and would substantially impair their ability to protect th ir interests.
XVII.
The plaintiffs pray for a trial by jury.
WHEREFORE, the plaintiffs, MP Vista, lnc., Habib Petroleui Warren’s Shell, inc.
Individually And On Behalf Of Those Similarly Situated, pray for Jud g, nent against the
defendaitts, Motiva Enterprises, LLC and Shell Oil Company, togethei with costs and attorney
fees.
