Aack! Sorry for the confusion. I was just pointing out that after preparing my lawsuit etc, I was all set to file it with the appelate court, through my own ignorance!!! I am a scientist and I have never paid much attention to the courts system, other than on TV of course.
What I did was I googled 9th circuit court when I first started thinking of a lawsuit, and the first 2 sites that pop up are the 9th circuit appelate court. They had all this information on filing pro se, which they duly sent me.
I called to verify their location yesterday and was met by utter confusion!
The appelate court IS NOT, NOT THE COURT to file with for a 1447(b)!!!
Thank goodness I realized that before I drove over there.
I included the notice to parties form and will simply remove it if the clerk tells me it is extraneous. I am counting on something that Publicus mentioned and that is that, we are pro se petitioners, and as hard as we work on our cases, we are not professionals and no one expects us to be.
Mr. LA, I am about an hour away from doing the do and will be in touch with you shortly!!!
