COX, Circuit Judge:
This interlocutory appeal presents a single issue: whether the thirty-day removal period provided by 28 U.S.C. § 1446(b) begins when the defendant receives a copy of the plaintiff's initial pleading, or when the defendant is served with a copy of that pleading. Concluding that the clock starts to tick upon the defendant's receipt of a copy of the filed initial pleading, we reverse.
