   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2757
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - COVID-19. Plaintiff alleged his father died from COVID-19 at 
   his nursing home as a result of the home's failure to conduct a proper 
   quarantine, adequately train its staff, and keep sick staff from patients. 
   The defendants removed the case to federal court, but the district court 
   remanded it to state court. Defendants appeal. The district court did not 
   err in remanding the matter as there was not complete diversity; the 
   federal PREP Act, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 247d-6d(a)(1) does not completely preempt 
   plaintiff's state law theories of liability; removal was not authorized by 
   the federal officer removal statute - 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1442.
