`NOTICE OF APPEAL
`
`Notice is hereby given that all Defendants appeal to the United States Court
`
`of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit from the Order entered December 28, 2020 (Doc. 57)
`
`remanding this case to the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, as well as
`
`any and all orders related to Doc. 57. Defendants are entitled to appeal the remand
`
`order as of right because this case was removed under 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a). See 28
`
`U.S.C. § 1447(d) (“an order remanding a case to the State court from which it was
`
`removed pursuant to section 1442 … of this title shall be reviewable by appeal or
`
`150661156.1
`Case 6:20-cv-02055-LRR-KEM Document 58 Filed 12/31/20 Page 1 of 4
`
`
`
`
`
`otherwise”); see, e.g., Jacks v. Meridian Res. Co., LLC, 701 F.3d 1224 (8th Cir. 2012)
`
`(appeal of federal officer removal as of right).
`
`Because of the appeal as of right, it is Defendants’ understanding that under
`
`Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 62(a) this Court’s remand order is automatically
`
`stayed through January 27, 2020—30 days after its issuance. See, e.g., Northrop
`
`Grumman Tech. Servs., Inc. v. DynCorp Int’l LLC, No. 1:16cv534, 2016 WL 3180775,
`
`at *1–*2 (E.D. Va. June 7, 2016). In addition, Defendants intend to move in this Court
`
`for a stay through the pendency of this appeal. See generally Fed. R. App. P. 8(a).
