or residence of the parties, Any other such action shall be removable only if none of the parties in interest properly joined and served, as defendants is a citizen of the State in which, such action is brought. 28 U.S.C. § 1441(b) (1958). The Seventh Circuit recently stated that Romero, by holding that admiralty cases do not fall within the § 1331 federal question jurisdiction and thus (absent an independent basis for federal jurisdiction) cannot be removed under § 1441, necessarily concluded that admiralty cases were properly classified as “[a]ny other such action[s]” within the meaning of § 1441(b)’s second sentence and could not be classified as among the cases covered by the first sentence. See Lu Junhong, 792 F.3d at 817; accord In re Dutile, 935 F.2d 61, 63 (5th Cir.1991) (<HOLDING>) (alterations in original). That interpretation
holding that general maritime law preempts state law holding that courts apply substantive admiralty law to claims that sound in admiralty regardless of whether the complaint invokes diversity or admiralty jurisdiction holding that admiralty and general maritime claims fall within the category of any other civil action governed by the second sentence of  1441b holding that admiralty jurisdiction extends to maritime insurance contracts holding that wrongful death actions asserted under admiralty jurisdiction lie under general maritime law for death caused by violation of maritime duties and are not limited to standards of liability created by state law
