MEMORANDUM
BLAKE, District Judge.
This case presents the question whether the res judicata effect of á prior judgment rendered by a federal court sitting in diversity may suffice to create a federal question upon which this court’s removal jurisdiction may be based. The plaintiff, Semtek International, Inc. (“Semtek”), has filed a motion to remand this case to the Circuit Court for Baltimore City for lack of jurisdiction, under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c). No hearing is deemed necessary. See Local Rule 105.6. For the reasons that follow, Semtek’s motion will be granted and the case remanded.
