Summary: written with AI from the case record.
What it's about
The Supreme Court distributed their petition for a conference; that is not a decision to hear it.
The dispute concerns how the civil-rights removal law (§ 1443) relates to the rule named in the question about review of orders sending cases back to state court (§ 1447(d)).
Question presented
Whether a case is “ removed pursuant to ” 28 U.S.C. § 1443, within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d), when the notice of removal alleges constitutional civil-rights violations but does not cite § 1443 until a timely motion for reconsideration.
What happens next
The Court must decide whether to hear the case. The conference distribution does not guarantee a decision on that date, and no oral argument or decision window is set.
