Opinion
Case No. 15 C 4002 USCA No. 15-2982
05-16-2017
SAMIRA HAZAMA and AHMED ABDEL HAFIZ GHNEIM, Plaintiffs, v. REX W. TILLERSON, Secretary of State, et al., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM ORDER
This Court's daily review of ECF matters via its iPhone has disclosed the May 12, 2017 Notice of Issuance of Mandate by our Court of Appeals (through some glitch the customary delivery to this Court's chambers of opinions issued in appeals from its rulings did not take place in this case, so that the current mandate brought this Court its first knowledge of the Court of Appeals' March 20 opinion, which included a directive as to the entry of a final order of dismissal). In accordance with that directive this Court orders the judgment of dismissal modified to reflect that it is an adjudication against the plaintiffs on the merits, not for lack of subject matter jurisdiction (which had been the ground for dismissal advanced by defendants when the case was initially before this Court).
