RULE CRLJ 14A
                    REMOVAL TO SUPERIOR COURT


    (a) Jurisdiction Over Third Party. A case may be removed to
superior court in order to obtain jurisdiction over a third party
defendant, as provided in RCW 4.14.010. This procedure is
governed by RCW 4.14.

    (b) Claims in Excess of Jurisdiction--Generally. When any
party in good faith asserts a claim in an amount in excess of the
jurisdiction of the district court or seeks a remedy beyond the
jurisdiction of the district court, the district court shall
order the entire case removed to superior court.

    (c) Claims in Excess of Jurisdiction--Orders and Process. If
a case is removed to the superior court under section (b) of this
rule, the superior court may issue all necessary orders and
process as provided in RCW 4.14.030.

    (d) Claims in Excess of Jurisdiction--Improper Removal. If it
appears that a case has been improperly removed to the superior
court under section (b) of this rule, the superior court shall
remand the case as provided in RCW 4.14.030.

    (e) Claims in Excess of Jurisdiction--Attached Property;
Custody. If property of a defendant is attached or garnished
prior to the removal of a case, the attachment or garnishment
shall be transferred with the removed case to the superior court
and shall be held to answer the final judgment or decree in the
same manner as it would have been held to answer had the cause
been brought in the superior court originally.
