    MAYER v. KARAGHUESIAN.
    (Circuit Court, S. D. New York.
    February 2, 1909.)
    ^Removal op Causes (§ 86) —Petition—Aliens.
    A removal petition by an alien, failing to allege that he is a nonresident of the state, is fatally defective.
    [Ed. Note.—For other cases, see Removal of Causes, Cent. Dig. §§ 170, 173; Dee. Dig. § 86.*] •
    On Motion to Remand.
    Morchauser & Haysradt, for plaintiff.
    Bertrand R. Pettigrew, for defendant.

   NOYES, Circuit Judge.

The petition for removal is wholly insufficient, in that it fails to allege that the defendant is a nonresident of' this district. The allegations that he is an alien, and not a citizen of the state of New York, are quite consistent'with his residence here.

The motion to remand is granted, and an order may be entered accordingly.
