Order
ORDER: For the reasons stated in the accompanying order, this case is dismissed without prejudice for want of subject matter jurisdiction. Given the Court lacks jurisdiction, it cannot and need not address Defendants' remaining arguments. Ind eed, "[t]o say that abstention is in order then is to say that federal courts should not address the merits, period." Watkins v. Muhammad, 2024 WL 4524525, at *3 (7th Cir. Oct. 18, 2024) (quoting Greening v. Moran, 953 F.2d 301, 304 (7th Ci r. 1992)). Plaintiffs have until October 5, 2026 to file another amended complaint, if they so choose. If Plaintiffs choose to amend their Complaint, in light of the Court's rulings on subject matter jurisdiction and judicial immunity, they are reminded of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 requirements that they (1) are not using the filing for any improper purpose, such as harassment, (2) have included claims warranted by existing law and containing nonfrivolous arguments, and (3) have in cluded factual allegations with evidentiary support. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b); see also Phoenix Airway Inn Associates v. Essex Fin. Services, Inc., 741 F. Supp. 734, 736 (N.D. Ill. 1990) (imposing monetary sanctions for plaintiff's failure to reaso nably investigate facts relating to jurisdiction prior to filing its complaint); Atkins v. Gilbert, 52 F.4th 359, 362 (7th Cir. 2022) (Plaintiff "should be aware, though, that persistence in filing frivolous claims or appeals can invite sanction s from the court"). Any amended complaint must clearly reflect the basis upon which the Court has subject matter jurisdiction over the claims, and the basis of personal jurisdiction over the Defendants for those claims, and meet the requirements of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 10(b). Signed by the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama on 9/21/2026. Mailed notice. (jcm)
