Santoyo v. City of Chicago

Plaintiff appealed from the district court’s entry of sanctions against him for filing frivolous motions, arguing that the district court violated his right to due process because it did not notify him of the potential sanctions or give him the opportunity to respond before entry of sanctions. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding that plaintiff was given fair notice and had multiple opportunities to explain his perspective and to avoid abusing the judicial process. (ST. EVE and KOLAR, concurring)
