1Per curiam
This appeal presents the question: Is there an analogy to removal under 28 U.S.C. § 1441 in the Guam District Court? We answer this question affirmatively, applying the principles announced in our companion case, Mailloux v. Mailloux and Chase Manhattan Bank, 554 F.2d 976.
Plaintiff is a Guamanian corporation and defendant is a California corporation. Plaintiff brought suit in the Guam Island Court, and defendant petitioned the Guam District Court attempting to remove the case. The district court held removal was not available and dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
