7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Jackson County Bank v. Mathew R. DuSablon

Case No.: 18-2809

Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and BRENNAN and ST. EVE, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sanctions

Jackson County Bank sued its former employee, Mathew R. DuSablon, in Indiana state court, asserting various state law claims, including theft of property and breach of contract. Following his unsuccessful motion to dismiss, DuSablon removed the case to federal court. The district court remanded the case to state court for want of jurisdiction and untimely removal and further ordered DuSablon to pay the costs and fees for the wrongful removal. DuSablon now appeals the remand order and the district court’s imposition of sanctions. We dismiss the appeal of the district court’s remand order and affirm its award of costs and fees.

Dismissed in part. Affirmed in part.
