Head Matter:
MAYER v. KARAGHUESIAN.
(Circuit Court, S. D. New York.
February 2, 1909.)
^Removal op Causes (§ 86 ) —Petition—Aliens.
A removal petition by an alien, failing to allege that he is a nonresident of the state, is fatally defective.
[Ed. Note.—For other cases, see Removal of Causes, Cent. Dig. §§ 170, 173; Dee. Dig. § 86.*] •
On Motion to Remand.
Morchauser & Haysradt, for plaintiff.
Bertrand R. Pettigrew, for defendant.
For other cases see same topic & § number in Dec. & Am. Digs. 1907 to date, & Rep’r Indexes

Opinion:
NOYES, Circuit Judge.
The petition for removal is wholly insufficient, in that it fails to allege that the defendant is a nonresident of' this district. The allegations that he is an alien, and not a citizen of the state of New York, are quite consistent'with his residence here.
The motion to remand is granted, and an order may be entered accordingly.
