1Opinion of the Court
FITZPATRICK, District Judge.
Before the court is the State of Georgia’s motion to remand this case back to the State Court of Houston County. Defendant removed the case on March 13,1996, under the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1442a which allows for the removal of certain state criminal prosecutions against members of the armed forces. The State contends that removal under § 1442a was improper because Defendant has not presented a federal defense to the state criminal prosecution. The court heard oral arguments on the matter on May 21, 1996, and now issues the following order.
