Bailey v. Worthington Cylinder Corp., No. 22-2111 (7th Cir. 2024)
Annotate this Case
In this case, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit considered an appeal brought by Andrew Shalaby, a California attorney. Shalaby's pro hac vice admission to represent a plaintiff in a product-liability lawsuit in the Northern District of Illinois had been revoked by the district court. Shalaby argued that this revocation violated his First Amendment rights and was based on legal and factual errors. However, before Shalaby filed his appeal, the parties in the lawsuit had settled all their issues, and the case was dismissed with prejudice.
The court held that, under these circumstances, Shalaby's interest in vindicating his reputation did not present the court with a claim of a redressable injury. Therefore, the court found that it did not have jurisdiction to hear Shalaby's appeal, as no case or controversy remained. The court dismissed Shalaby's appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
