REMOVAL JURISDICTION

摘要

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana ruled that the homeowner defaulting on a mortgage, and who was sued by the lender in a foreclosure action in Indiana state court, could not remove the action to federal district court under federal question jurisdiction on the basis of federal statutes allegedly violated by the lender, where those statutes were cited by the homeowner in his counterclaim, and not by the plaintiff in his complaint. Countryside Bank v. Central Market of Indiana, 2020 WL 5627453, No: 2:20 CV 256 (N.D. Ind. Sept. 21, 2020).
