DAVIS v. GLANTON

Civil Action No. 96-1800.

921 F.Supp. 1421 (1996)

Kenneth DAVIS, et al., Plaintiffs, v. Richard GLANTON, et al. Defendants.

United States District Court, E.D. Pennsylvania.

April 1, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Paul R. Rosen, Spector, Gadon & Rosen, P.C., Philadelphia, PA, for Plaintiffs.

Richard P. McElroy, Ann B. Laupheimer, Blank Rome Comisky & McCauley, Philadelphia, PA, for Defendant.

MEMORANDUM and ORDER

ANITA B. BRODY, J.

The issue before me is whether a defamation action originally filed in state court can be removed to this Court, based on the fact that the issues presented in the defamation action are tangentially related to facts presented in a § 1983 action already pending in this Court. I find that removal on this basis is improper, and I therefore grant plaintiff's Motion to Remand.
