The state B citizen should file a motion to remand the action to state court in the federal court. The citizen of state B should file a motion to remand. The filing of a notice of removal ends state court jurisdiction and accomplishes the removal. The person however, may file a motion in the federal court asking that action be remanded to state court, either because it was not properly removed or because the federal court lacks subject matter jurisdiction.
