VDDP, LLC v. Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

 
APPEAL NO.
24-2226
OP. BELOW
DCT
SUBJECT
Patent
AUTHOR
Moore

Question(s) Presented

1. “Whether the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 3(c)(7) permits dismissal of a sanctioned attorney’s appeal when a timely notice expressly designates the order imposing the attorney’s personal sanction, identifies the attorney by name in that designation, and is signed and filed by the attorney, but the notice’s opening sentence identifies only the client as appellant.”

2. “Where Rule 3(c)(1)(A), as amended in 1993 and 2021 and read together with Rule 3(c)(7), is jurisdictional, where the content requirement appears only in a court-made rule and not in 28 U.S.C. § 2107, and where this Court has already held that reliance on pre-Bowles, pre-Hamer jurisdictional characterization of Rule 3(C) is unpersuasive.”
