Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit March 29, 1996, 95-1358 (In Re: Dale Chimenti, Lizabeth Chimenti, Joey Chimenti, and Stefanie Chimenti)

MOORE, Circuit Judge.

The Chimentis seek a writ of mandamus to remand their maritime action to state court. They originally filed suit in Michigan trial court under the “saving to suitors” clause of 28 U.S.C. § 1333(1), which preserves the ability of plaintiffs to bring

in personam

maritime claims in state court. Defendants removed the action, and the district court denied remand.
