How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• the term “joined” in the statute applies only to the claims joined by the plaintiff in the original state court action.
• “As the statutory language makes plain, only ‘the defendant or the defendants’ may remove under § 1441(a).”
• removal statutes are to be narrowly construed as they were “adopted in order to restrict rather than expand the scope of removal from the state courts.”
• “[W]hile a district court has the discre- tion to remand a case removed from state court, it may not remand a case that was never removed from state court[.]”
