- On March 7, 2014, the Landfill, with the consent of the two other defendants, Waste Management, Inc.,and Waste Management of South Carolina, Inc., (collectively “Defendants”) removed the case to this court.
- Defendants submit that this court has subject-matter jurisdiction because the Landfill, in the disposal of asbestos-containing wastes and soils, was acting under the direction of an officer of the United States within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a)(l).
