Federal Court Removal Process

Summary

To remove a case to federal court, establish federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331. Include all relevant federal claims, such as RICO violations, and ensure the Notice of Removal is filed within 30 days of receiving the initial pleading. Attach all state court documents and notify all parties. If financial hardship exists, file an In Forma Pauperis application to waive fees. Ensure distinctiveness in RICO claims by differentiating between the person and the enterprise. Consider including all relevant parties involved in the alleged activities to strengthen the case.

for my RICO claim to survive a quick dimissal and where many fail in their claim is the element of distinctiveness. For example Mr. Tiernan and Mr. Grieco have title to our two companies Classic Display Inc. and * Fountain Street LLC. However if I only sue the two copanies and mr. Tiernan and Mr. grieco claiming that they are both the person and the enterptrise it will not support a RICO claim. Therefore i must include the * attorneys , Pensco trust Company, South Esat Housing court. Additionally mr. grieco and Mr. tiernan loan large amounts of money to one of the companies having James sign as a guantor . Additionally the forensic CPA which we managed to hire reported extensive commingingly of funds, sham transactions, embezzlement. So should i sue the family members too?

Case Rating: *
To strengthen your RICO claim, you should consider the following:
- Distinctiveness: The "person" must be distinct from the "enterprise." Include separate entities like the attorneys, Pensco Trust Company, and Southeast Housing Court.
- Additional Involvement: If the family members played a significant role in the alleged racketeering activities, it might be beneficial to include them as well.
Would you like more details or guidance on how to proceed?
