- Q. Illinois removal from federal court
- A: I believe that once the federal court is divested of jurisdiction and thus any authority over the pending case, that the motion to dismiss filed in federal court would have to be filed in the state proceeding to heard.

Since you are uninsured, you may be safe for now. The other party's claim and its resolution may well come by way idf its/their insurer under the uninsured motorist coverage.
