Syllabus

<p>REMOVAL OF CAUSES — TIME FOR APPLICATION.</p> <p>A nonresident defendant is not entitled to have an action for the foreclosure of a mortgage transferred to the federal court, when the complaint states but a single cause of action against all the defendants, and some of them, aside from the nonresident defendant, are necessary parties to a complete determination of the plaintiff’s rights.</p> <p>An application by a defendant for a transfer of the cause to the federal court must be made before the expiration of the time fixed by statute within which the defendant is called upon to answer, and such right cannot be enlarged by an extention of time in which to answer.</p>
