Description

CHAPMAN, Circuit Judge: In the matter before the Court, the plaintiffs seek to compel an employee of the Environmental Protection Agency (""EPA""), Jack L. Downie (""Downie""), to testify in a state court civil action, contrary to specific instructions of his agency superiors, concerning information acquired during the course of his official duties. We hold that the state court, and the federal district court on removal, lacked jurisdiction to compel the defendant to appear and testify in a state court action to which the government is not a party. Thus, we reverse the order of the district court.
