Usually the Commercial Litigation Branch will leave the decision as to removal of actions brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2410 to the United States Attorney.

Removal of actions brought in state courts under 28 U.S.C. § 2410 is authorized by 28 U.S.C. § 1444. Removal should be accomplished within thirty days of receipt of a copy of the initial pleading, whether by service of process or otherwise.
