Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Older Americans Act
Plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the former director of the Illinois Department of Aging, alleging that defendant deprived plaintiff, and others, of rights guaranteed by Illinois law and the Older Americans Act when defendant unlawfully refused to hold hearings on three administrative petitions filed by plaintiff. The district court dismissed the lawsuit, finding that it was time-barred and failed to state a claim. Plaintiff appealed and the Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding no errors by the district court.
