RULE 420.
REMOVAL OF CASES FROM STATE COURTS
A. Removal Notice to Be Filed With Clerk of This Court
A defendant desiring pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1452 to remove to this Court a civil action or proceeding from a state court in this District shall file all required papers with the clerk of this Court.
B. Copy of Record to Be Filed With Clerk in 20 Days
Within twenty days after filing the petition for removal, the petitioner shall file with the clerk a copy of all records and proceedings had in the state court.
Committee Note: Detailed requirements for removal papers are otherwise provided by statute and applicable rules. Section A adopts the ruling in In Re Gianakas, 56 B.R. 747 (N.D. Ill. 1985), and interprets otherwise obscure references in Fed.R.Bankr.P. 9027(a)(1) and 9001(3) to provide clearly for filing of removal papers with the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court (see definition of clerk, Rule 100) nstead of with the clerk of the District Court. This procedure avoids necessity for that clerk to transfer papers to the clerk of this Court which serves a unit of the District Court. Section B implements 28 U.S.C. §1447(b) and Fed.R.Bankr.P. 9027(e)(2).
