003030P.pdf   04/26/2001  Attorney 99-37  v.  Barbara G. Stuart
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-3030
   District of Minnesota   
   Civil case - Attorney discipline. When an attorney subjected to state 
   discipline based on a report by the U.S. trustee attempted to hold 
   the trustee in civil contempt for failure to submit to a deposition, 
   the district court properly removed the contempt portion of the 
   disciplinary proceeding to federal as 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1442(a)(1) 
   protects federal officials from civil or contempt liability for their 
   actions and permits removal of such actions to federal court; trustee's 
   action in referring the matter to the appropriate state bar committee 
   was done in the course of carrying out her official duties and did 
   not amount to a waiver of sovereign immunity by the U.S.
