The court granted plaintiff's motion to remand the case to state court, finding that defendant Anaplan failed to meet the one-year removal deadline under 28 U.S.C. § 1446(c)(1) and that the bad-faith exception to that deadline did not apply.
McVey v. Anaplan, Inc. - Case Summary
What Happened
An employee named McVey filed a lawsuit against Anaplan, Inc., claiming discrimination and harassment at work. Anaplan tried to move the case from Illinois state court to federal court, but they did this more than one year after the lawsuit was originally filed.
What the Court Decided
The judge ruled against Anaplan's attempt to move the case. The court found that Anaplan missed the legal deadline to transfer the case to federal court—companies have only one year to make this move. The judge also determined that Anaplan didn't have a valid excuse for missing this deadline, so the case was sent back to state court where it started.
Why This Matters for Workers
This ruling reinforces that companies must follow procedural rules and deadlines, just like employees must. Employers cannot use delay tactics or procedural maneuvering to gain unfair advantages in discrimination and harassment cases. Workers who file complaints in state court can rely on these deadlines being enforced, preventing employers from shopping for more favorable federal venues after the fact.
