When an order is filed for removal in criminal court, the criminal action upon which the order is based shall ______.

When an order is filed for removal in criminal court, the criminal action upon which the order is based shall ______.

• A. Be transferred to another court.
• B. Be stayed pending appeal.
• C. Be terminated, and there shall be no further criminal proceedings in any criminal court.
• D. Continue in the same court.

Answer: (C)

When an order of removal is filed, the criminal action ends; the action is terminated and there can be no further criminal proceedings in any criminal court. This rule is about finality—once removal is invoked, the case does not simply move to another court or pause, it is concluded across all courts to avoid duplicative or conflicting prosecutions. The other outcomes would involve continuing or pausing the case or transferring it to another court, which contradicts the termination rule.
