On April 3, defendants filed their CA7 docketing statement, including that one of the original plaintiffs, Rubi Joyal, voluntarily removed himself from the district case on April 25, 2022. Since he was removed without prejudice (i.e., without a prohibition on renewing his claims), that means that the district judgment entered on March 1 was technically not a final judgment. Because Joyal has not filed any independent lawsuit, his claims have not been fully adjudicated, making this case ineligible for appeal.
On April 4, CA7 ordered plaintiffs to respond by April 17 why this case should not be summarily dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, based on the ineligibility for appeal.
