Date Filed Document Text
July 24, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 22 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER IMPOSING RULE 11 SANCTION: Respondent Grae is warned that it is improper conduct, subject to Rule 11 sanctions, to improperly remove an action from state court to a federal district court and, further, that improper removals include a removal on behalf of citizen of the state where the state court action is pending. As to the Respondent Law Firm, a different nonmonetary sanction fits better. Within 120 days of this Order, Respondent The Chartwell Law Offices, LLP shall (a) require each partner or member of the firm admitted to practice before this Court who practices in the field of litigation to attend a continuing education program that includes topics on the following: (1) federal subject matter jurisdiction based upon diversity of citizenship; (2) the proper basis and procedure for removal of cases to federal court; and (3) the certification requirements of Rule 11; and (b) file an affidavit of compliance with the foregoing within 140 days. (Signed by Judge P. Kevin Castel on 7/24/2014) (tn)
