Plaintiffs Seek Remand After Defendants' 'Improvident Removal'

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Plaintiffs in Kentucky have filed a reply brief supporting their motion to remand, saying that the defendants have failed to provide sufficient evidence that the site of the alleged exposure was a federal enclave. Watkins, et al. v. Safety-Kleen Systems Inc., et al., No. 08-224 (E.D. Ky.).

In their July 1 reply brief filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, plaintiffs Gary and Gina Lee Watkins further claim that all the reasoning for removing the claims fails because the defendants did not receive consent from all co-defendants before removing the case.
