Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Removal
Ct. of Appeals lacked jurisdiction to consider Bankruptcy Ct. order
remanding state-court action alleging that defendant breached
confidentiality agreement with respect to parties' plan to bid on assets
of third-party debtor in bankruptcy proceeding where said action had
been removed to Bankruptcy Court as part of complaint seeking
various remedies against other entities that was related to said
bankruptcy proceeding. While Bankruptcy Ct. actually had authority under
supplemental jurisdiction to consider state-court action, even though
aspects of complaint relating to prior Bankruptcy Ct. order had been dismissed from case, Bankruptcy Ct.'s remand, that was based on mistaken finding that it lacked jurisdiction, rendered
remand order not reviewable under 28 USC section 1452(b).
