Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1071837, member: 652"] He is wrong about the claim that you can't remove a year after because the clock DOES NOT START UNTIL THE MATTER the litigant is appealing is decided. If Maryland agreed the state of NC had jurisdiction over them in a NC state then they would only have 30 days to move it to federal court under Diversity. In this case, Maryland filed a response challenging the state of NC's jurisdiction and filed a suit in a MD court. The MD state court didn't dismiss the UMD suit in MD, but continued it till the NC issue was decided in NC. Once UMD's claim is decided then MD will 30 days if they wanted to move it to federal court I looked today. Thus, while JOC was on the right track he didn't know that MD will still have the 30 days to move it to federal court once the NC issue is decided. [/QUOTE]
