The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A petition for removal of a civil action must be filed within thirty days after the defendant has received a copy of the initial pleading setting forth the claim for relief upon which the action is based. See 28 U.S.C. § 1446 (b). A defendant may freely amend the notice of removal within the thirty day period of 28 U.S.C. § 1446 (b). After the thirty day period has expired however, a party may only amend defective allegations of jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1653 . Section 1653 does not permit a removing party to assert additional grounds of jurisdiction not included in the original pleading. See American Educators Financial Corporation v. Bennett, 928 F.Supp. 1113, 1115 (M.D.Ala.1996); Stafford v. Mobil Oil Corp., 945 F.2d 803 (5th Cir.1991); Newman-Green, Inc. v. Alfonzo-Larrain, 490 U.S. 826 , 109 S.Ct. 2218 , 104 L.Ed.2d 893 (1989) (citation omitted); 14a ChaRles A. Weight, Ar-thue R. Millee & Edwaed H.

Completely new grounds for removal may not be added and missing allegations may not be furnished, however.” (footnotes omitted)).”
