Roberts v. Bisno (In re Bisno)

After debtor purported to remove, directly to the court, a case against debtor in a state court and which was in the middle of being tried, the court considered whether it had jurisdiction over the removed case despite debtor's failure to comply with the proper removal procedures and, if so, whether it may sua sponte remand the case to the state court. Claimant sought emergency relief from stay to allow the state court case to continue.
