How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- “The lesson of Penn General is clearly that federal courts may not interfere with state court in rem 27 jurisdiction by forcibly taking possession of the res.”
