F 9027-1.NOTICE.STATCONF.REMOVAL, NOTICE OF STATUS CONFERENCE RE REMOVAL OF ACTION [LBR 9027-1], Some parties are involved in litigation in other courts before the party files a petition to be a bankruptcy debtor; these include federal courts, superior courts, etc. After the bankruptcy case is opened, parties to the litigation may wish to bring the lawsuit out of the other court and into the bankruptcy court, for the bankruptcy judge to continue the litigation -- This process is called "Removal." There is no guarantee that the bankruptcy judge will agree to continue the litigation in bankruptcy court. If not, the judge may send the litigation back where it came from -- That process is called "Remand."
