7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Chicago Joe’s Tea Room, LLC, et al. v. Village of Broadview, et al.

Case No.: 16-1989

Officials: MANION, KANNE, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Injunctive Relief

For the last eleven years, the parties to this appeal have litigated a land contract that never closed and a strip club that never opened. Yet this appeal is still an interlocutory one. We conclude that the claim for injunctive relief that gives us appellate jurisdiction is actually moot, and we affirm its dismissal. Along the way to that conclusion, we address a tangled record of transactions that seem designed to conceal the real parties in interest and their substantive deals, and we decide issues of appellate jurisdiction, standing, and the law of the case.
