With this one filing, King County has essentially made a federal case of the lawsuit involving Miska, the brown tabby cat from Bellevue. King County\u2019s Notice of Removal comes while a number of motions were still pending in Pierce County Superior Court before Judge Timothy Ashcraft, as well as an appeal in the Court of Appeals, Div. 2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attorneys for Anna Danieli, Miska\u2019s owner, have put both King County and the Superior Court on notice that this recent filing was both untimely and legally baseless filing in the Federal Court. \u201cThis was clearly a legally frivolous action taken by the King County Defendants,\u201d stated attorney Jon Zimmerman, one of Danieli\u2019s attorneys.&nbsp; \u201cThe Superior Court has not even been given the opportunity to make a decision about [Danieli\u2019s] requested amendment to her complaint, and the King County Defendants are making filings in federal court with zero legal basis.\u201d&nbsp; Based on filings with the Federal Court, the other defendants, City of Bellevue, and the King County Hearing Examiner have consented to the Notice of Removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Danieli\u2019s attorneys are expected to respond to King County\u2019s Notice of Removal in the U.S. District Court, where the case has been assigned to Chief Judge Ricardo S. Martinez.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_01fc28-02 .kt-block-spacer{height:60px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_01fc28-02 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_01fc28-02\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.possingerlaw.com\/miska\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-03-05_Ntc-of-Removal-USDC.pdf\">Notice of Removal (Federal Court) (02-05-2021)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.possingerlaw.com\/miska\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-03-15_LET_Letter-to-Court-Ashcraft-re-Filing-of-Notice-of-Removal-Signed-JP-JZ-Stamped.pdf\">Letter to Superior Court (03-15-2021)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><em>We invite you to stay up-to-date with future case developments by following our firm&#8217;s related social media channels (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/possinger_law_group\/\">@possinger_law_group on Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/possingerlaw.com\">possingerlaw.com<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>King County files Notice of Removal in Federal Court, which Danieli\u2019s Attorneys Claim is Premature and Frivolous.
