MEMORANDUM-DECISION AND ORDER

MUNSON, Chief Judge.

This action raises a number of interesting and difficult questions regarding Congress' recent abrogation of the long-established derivative jurisdiction doctrine when subsection (e) was added to the general removal statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1441. Unfortunately, because this case was improvidently removed, this court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain these questions at this time.1
