Enbridge Energy, LP v. Nessel · ¶25

That is exactly the case here. Within § 1446(b) itself, Congress provided that the ordinary 30-day deadline does not apply when a case at first appears unremovable, but a later “pleading, motion, order or other paper” reveals that it is (or has become) removable. § 1446(b)(3). In that case, the defendant has another 30 days to remove from “receipt” of the paper “from which it may first be ascertained that the case is . . . removable.” Ibid. This extension is limited, however, if the basis for removal is diversity of citizenship. Such “[a] case may not be removed under subsection (b)(3) . . . more than 1 year after commencement of the action, unless the district court finds that the plaintiff has acted in bad faith in order to prevent a defendant from removing the action.” § 1446(c)(1).
