English term or phrase: removing defendant
This is a case in the Courts of Florida, the sentence says:

Copies to plaintiff(s) (including habeas petitioner(s), bankruptcy appellant(s), and removing defendant(s))

I need to know if "removing defendant" is demandado absuelto, or which is the correct term of it.

Thank you very much.

Spanish translation:demandado que sostiene la competencia de los tribunales federales
Explanation:
Or however you may choose to describe this in Spanish since, to my knowledge, nothing similar exists in the Spanish judicial system. In the US "removing defendant" usually refers to a defendant who has filed a motion to have a case transferred ("removed") from a state court to a federal court. As explained in "Black's Law Dictionary, 8th ed.", "a litigant must timely file the removal papers and must show a valid basis for federal-court jurisdiction." (p. 1322)

In other respects, I do not believe "removing defendant" could be translated as "imputado absuelto" since this passage appears to refer to civil, rather than to criminal proceedings, and "imputado absuelto" is a patently criminal law expression indicating a (criminal) defendant/accused who has been acquitted of criminal charges.

Wikipedia:
In the United States, removal jurisdiction refers to the power of a defendant to move a lawsuit filed in state court to the Federal district court of the original court's district. This is a general exception to the "well-pleaded complaint" rule giving the plaintiff the general authority to make the decision on the proper forum.

Removal is governed by statute, 28 U.S.C. §1441 et seq. Generally, a case may be removed if the original case could have been filed in federal court, but was not. Thus, removal requires an independent ground for jurisdiction such as diversity jurisdiction, federal question jurisdiction, or any other grant of federal jurisdiction.

Sigo pensando como traducirlo

Podría ser "demandados con solicitud de traslado de jurisdicción"
