No, you cannot ignore this. You need to submit a suggestion of bankruptcy in the state court action.

Never ignore a Summons. You could have a judgment entered against you or other penalties for failure to comply with the summons. If the summons is inappropriate given your bankruptcy filing you may have rights to sue the party issuing the summons for violation of the bankruptcy rules and/or order.
