Mario Lamont Sims v. Bank of New York

Whether the conduct of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals was so outrageous that due process principles would absolutely bar the anonymous three judge panel’s ability to issue an Opinion and sanction a Plaintiff when the facts and/or evidence were not grounded in reality. The American judicial system has historically been open to the public and a* the U.S. Supreme Court has continually affirmed the presumption of openness. When the anonymous panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals operated in secrecy it ran counter to the very principles of openness and becomes a slippery slope of judicial tyranny. This is a case of first impression. n.
