YIGAL BOSCH,
Plaintiff-Appellant
v.
CITY OF HOUSTON,
Defendant-Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:12-CV-304
Before WIENER, ELROD, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Yigal Bosch challenges the district court’s dismissal of his petition for
removal of his state court action. Because the removal statutes provide that only
a defendant may remove a state action to federal court, the district court did not
err in determining that removal by Bosch was improper. See 28 U.S.C.
§§ 1441(a), 1443(1), 1446(a); McKenzie v. United States, 678 F.2d 571, 574 (5th
Cir. 1982).
AFFIRMED.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
