Ali v. Chicago Bancorp, Inc.
Citation: 334 F. App'x 761Docket: No. 09-1570
Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit; June 23, 2009; Federal Appellate Court
Neser Em Neheh Ali filed a lawsuit against Bancorp and other defendants, focusing on commercial and contractual claims. The complaint was deemed incoherent and failed to present clear claims, with Ali referring to himself and the defendants as “vessels” to invoke federal admiralty jurisdiction. The district court dismissed the case due to a lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Ali's appellate brief was also unclear and did not meet the requirements of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 28(a)(9)(A), which mandates a substantive argument supported by legal authority. Although pro se filings are interpreted liberally, Ali did not provide any reasoning to contest the district court's decision or articulate a coherent argument. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed.
