U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York·Decided January 4, 1911·Published·Cited by 2 cases

Opinion

COXE, Circuit Judge.

The question- here involved is an exceedingly simple one. The federal statute provides that a suit may be removed to this court when the amount involved exceeds $2,000. The amount here involved is exactly $2,000. Such a suit cannot be removed to this court for the obvious reason that the amount does not exceed (is not more than) $2,000. To assert that $2,000 is more than $2,000 is an absurdity.

The motion to remand is granted.
