Plaintiff shall file a letter no longer than five pages on or before 7/27/2023, explaining Plaintiff's position regarding whether this case was properly removed from state court. Plaintiff's letter must address not only whether the Court has jurisdiction over the claims at issue in this case, but also whether Plaintiff's claims meet the criteria for mandatory or permissive abstention under 28 U.S.C. 1334 or equitable remand under 28 U.S.C. 1452. Plaintiff's letter shall also address whether Defendants complied with the procedural requirements for removal, including the requirements in 28 U.S.C. 1446 or Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9027. Defendants may file a responsive letter no longer than five pages on or before 8/10/2023.If Plaintiff's letter indicates that removal was improper, the Court will likely take under consideration whether to remand this case based solely on the parties' letters, without affording Defendants the opportunity further to brief the issue, regardless of whether Defendants file a responsive letter.
