7th Circ. Sanctions Outed Atty For Frivolous Appeal
Law360 (February 12, 2021, 10:43 PM EST) The Seventh Circuit has granted a bid for sanctions against attorney Tim Jon Semmerling who claimed a former colleague outed his sexuality to his client, an alleged al-Qaida member for filing a frivolous appeal the court described as incomprehensible [and] completely insubstantial.
A three-judge panel of the appellate court had upheld a lower court s order tossing Semmerling s lawsuit against former colleague Cheryl Bormann and the U.S. in January, saying the opening brief submitted by Semmerling s counsel does not remotely comply with federal rules governing appellate briefs and offers no legal basis for disagreeing with the judge s dismissal order.
