Suit Not Subject To Federal Jurisdiction Under Trade Secret Law, Judge Rules

Mealey's (April 12, 2018, 1:39 PM EDT) -- TEXARKANA, Ark. — A federal judge in Arkansas on April 11 remanded a lawsuit to state court, ruling that although a defendants’ temporary restraining order (TRO) cited Arkansas’ trade secret law, it did not justify removal to federal court because it did not cite any violations of federal copyright law as required under 28 U.S. Code Section 1447(c) (Warren Hanson, et al. v. Steven K. Randall, et al., No. 18-4025, W.D. Ark., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 61330)....
