How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that it is important to respect the original forum choice; therefore, Congress specifies that removal must be to the district where the litigation is pending, not where the bankruptcy is pending
  • emphasizing that a 4 bankruptcy court still has subject matter jurisdiction even when the case is improperly 5 removed, albeit with a procedural defect which can be waived
  • describing language of bankruptcy removal statute as a venue provision and disagreeing with National Developers; concluding wrong-court removal is a procedural defect that can be waived
