(#7) MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Defendant Foster Wheeler Energy Corp. removed this case to federal court based on the "federal officer" removal statute, 28 USC 1442(a)(1), alleging that it has a federal defense to plaintiff's claims. The removal of the case to federal court was, of course, accomplished by filing the notice of removal. Then, the next day, Foster Wheeler filed a document asking to "withdraw" its removal of the case. This document provided no explanation. The Court wants one and also wants to ascertain the likelihood that one or more of the six-dozen-plus defendants remaining in the case will hereafter remove the case again. The case is set for a telephonic hearing on 11/10/2022 at 9:45 AM, using call-in number 888-684-8852, access code 746-1053. Foster Wheeler's attorney is directed to immediately provide notice of this order to plaintiff's attorney (who will not receive this notice via CM/ECF because of the recent removal of the case) and is also directed to participate in the hearing. Other defense counsel may also participate if they wish. (mk) (Entered: 11/05/2022)
