## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- noting that “federal officer” remand order was not appealable even though the district court had to “examine and discuss the federal defense”
- discussing the difference between “colorable” and “valid” with respect to a federal defense serving as a basis for removal under 28 U.S.C. § 1442

## Opinion text

RALPH B. GUY, Jr., Circuit Judge,
concurring in part with the dissent.
I concur in that portion of Judge Kennedy’s opinion which deals with the jurisdictional issue. I am not in agreement, however, with that portion of the opinion that concludes “the District Court was correct in holding that Wright was acting under the direction of federal officials when he allegedly disobeyed Judge Kessler’s order to deposit the $12,000 which had been turned over to the DEA.” I do not believe that Wright was acting as a federal officer, nor do I believe that he is entitled to any federal official immunity defense.
