MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Chestnut v. People of State of New York, 370 F.2d 1 (2nd Cir. 1966):
It is clear to us, therefore, that under the Strauder-Rives doctrine, and its application in Gibson v. State of Mississippi, supra, appellants are not entitled to remove their cases to the federal courts because the alleged denial of their civil rights is not "manifest in the formal expression of state law."
