Text: 9 Defendants contend that we lack jurisdiction to review the district court's refusal to remand and that the only issue before us is the propriety of the preliminary injunction. See La Chemise Lacoste v. Alligator Co., 506 F.2d 339, 341 (3d Cir.1974) (per curiam), cert. denied, 421 U.S. 937, 95 S.Ct. 1666, 44 L.Ed.2d 94 (1975). Our court has rejected this argument and allowed review of a refusal to remand on an appeal from a preliminary injunction. Albi v. Street & Smith Publications, Inc., 140 F.2d 310, 311 (9th Cir.1944). 1 When a district court enjoins prosecution of a parallel state action, the propriety of the underlying removal is intertwined with the propriety of granting the injunction. It would be wasteful not to review the refusal to remand in these circumstances. See Alligator Co. v. La Chemise Lacoste, 421 U.S. 937, 938, 95 S.Ct. 1666, 1666, 44 L.Ed.2d 94 (1975) (White, J., dissenting from denial of certiorari), see also 14A C. Wright, A. Miller & E. Cooper, Federal Practice & Procedure Sec. 3740, at 598-99 (1985). 10 Accordingly, the district court's refusal to remand is an issue properly reviewable on this appeal.
