What is the name of your state? Arizona
I recently filed a lawsuit in Maricopa County Superior Court against the County and the Sheriff's Office. The suit is for US and state constitutional violations. I received notice that the Defendant's moved the case to Federal Court, stating that the federal court has original jurisdiction and can accept the state constitutional claims as well.
I have 30 days to respond. Why would they move it to Federal court? I guess if I knew their rationale behind it, I might know better if I should contest it.
Any thoughts or advice on this matter would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
