Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Civil Procedure
Plaintiffs, a group of employees of the defendant, filed a lawsuit challenging the defendant’s Covid-19 vaccination mandate and masking requirements. The district court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a viable claim for relief and plaintiffs appealed. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding that the district court did not err where the plaintiffs’ claims were either improperly preserved or inadequately pled and that the plaintiffs did not identify how filing an amended complaint would correct the deficiencies. (JACKSON-AKIWUMI and MALDONADO, concurring)
