United States Second Circuit

In suits originally filed by California and New Hampshire in their respective state courts against corporations that manufactured, refined, marketed, or distributed gasoline containing methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), alleging that MTBE contaminated public drinking water supplies, denial of plaintiffs' motions to remand is vacated where the district court erroneously held that it had removal jurisdiction over these actions under the federal officer removal statute and/or the bankruptcy removal statute, and no alternative ground for jurisdiction is satisfied.
