OPINION

GRABER, Circuit Judge.

We are called on to decide whether a voluntarily joined foreign sovereign may remove a case from a territorial court to a federal district court when the foreign sovereign obtained the original defendant's interest by assignment after the commencement of the litigation. We answer that question "yes" and, accordingly, affirm the district court's exercise of jurisdiction over this case.
