U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2005-12-15

Applies 28 U.S.C. § 1446 · 28 U.S.C. § 1447 · 28 U.S.C. § 1452

Relies on Things Remembered, Inc. v. Petrarca · Daleske v. Fairfield Communities, Inc. · Coward v. AC and S Inc

Decided 2005-12-15

PER CURIAM: *

¶1 Michael B. Cupit appeals the district court’s award of attorney’s fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c). Cupit contends that the attorney’s fee provision contained in § 1447(c) is inapplicable to this case because it was removed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1452 and not 28 U.S.C. § 1446. Cupit’s argument that 28 U.S.C. § 1447 is inapplicable to bankruptcy claims is fore *627 closed by the reasoning of Things Remembered, Inc. v. Petrarca, 516 U.S. 124, 116 S.Ct. 494, 138 L.Ed.2d 461 (1995) (rejecting contention that prohibition on appellate review of remand orders contained in § 1447(d) did not apply to removals based on bankruptcy jurisdiction). See also Coward v. AC and S, Inc., 91 Fed.Appx. 919 (5th Cir.2004) (unpublished) (rejecting Cupit’s argument); Daleske v. Fairfield Communities, Inc., 17 F.3d 321, 324 (10th Cir.1994) (same).

¶2 AFFIRMED.

¶3 Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
