Supreme Court of the United States

BP p.l.c. v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore

May 17, 2021593 U.S. 230

Summary

The Supreme Court held that 28 U.S.C. §1447(d) permits a federal appellate court to review the entire district‑court order remanding a case to state court when the removal was based, in part, on the federal‑officer removal statute (§1442) or the civil‑rights removal statute (§1443). The Court vacated the Fourth Circuit’s judgment and remanded for further proceedings consistent with that interpretation.
