Question presented

Whether the 7th Cir. Violated Article III of the United States Constitution and the 5th Amendment when they allowed JPMorgan Chase, to enter as a defendant, whom had no legal standings, defined under FRCP 24(b); to intervene almost two years after the case was closed, and after a petition for writ of certiorari was denied by the U. S. Supreme Court. Whether the 7th Cir. Violated the 5th Amendment of the Petitioner, when they allowed First Merchants Bank and J P Morgan Chase, to request sanctions almost two years after the case was closed, and without allowing the Petitioner the opportunity to respond, resulting in unjust fees.
