Ely Valley Mines, Inc., Pioche Mines Consolidated, Inc. v. Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company, Americo L. Campini, Leland Donahue

TAKASUGI, District Judge:

Plaintiffs, commenced this action for damages against their court-appointed receiver, Americo L. Campini; Hartford Acci dent and Indemnity Co., surety on the receiver’s bond; and Leland Donahue who assisted the receiver.

The action was initially brought in a Nevada state court and removed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a)(3) to the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada.

The district court denied remand and subsequently dismissed for lack of prosecution. Plaintiffs appeal both these rulings. We affirm. Our jurisdiction is founded upon 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
