Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Yigal Bosch challenges the district court's dismissal of his petition for removal of his state court action. Because the removal statutes provide that only a defendant may remove a state action to federal court, the district court did not err in determining that removal by Bosch was improper. See 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a), 1443(1), 1446(a); McKenzie v. United States, 678 F.2d 571, 574 (5th Cir.1982).
AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
