7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Jorge Baez-Sanchez, et al. v. Jefferson B. Sessions III, et al.
Case No.: 16-3784; 17-1438
Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge,
Focus: Pleadings – Appellant’s Jurisdictional Statement
There is no reason why, month after month, year after year, the court should encounter jurisdictional statements with such obvious flaws. This imposes needless costs on everyone involved. The briefs filed by respondent Sessions and appellee Air Line Pilots are STRICKEN. Each one must file a new brief within seven days of this order; the new brief must contain a jurisdictional statement that complies with all of the requirements of FRAP 28(b) and Circuit Rule 28(b), and if necessary, statements that comply with FRAP 28(a) and Circuit Rule 28(a).
