Question

If the plaintiff, Carlene, files a case in the state court in Lucas County, Ohio, and the defendant, Carlos, wants the case heard in a federal district court in Michigan, what would Carlos have to do_____________..

Answer 1

Law permits Carlos the defendant to file a motion to exercise his right of removal and then file a motion for a change of venue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that, according to US law this right of removal is claimed only by a defendant; a plaintiff cannot and does not have right of removal of a case he or she has commenced in state court.

Also, a motion for a change of venue can be petitioned by the defendant, Carlos to move a case to another location such as the federal district court in Michigan since it falls within the same jurisdiction.
