This 2016 case involved outlandish allegations from a pro se plaintiff against a wide array of current and former government officials.

On November 7, 2016, the plaintiff filed suit in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, seeking to have the Court deem former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as a number of other named officials, as "not qualified" to run for public office. This stemmed from the alleged fact there are "millions of illegal immigrants" in the United States who are voting or will vote in the 2016 election. Plaintiff also made other claims, such as antitrust violations, obstruction of justice, and various allegations of discrimination and treatment of African Americans.

The same day, the Court found the plaintiff lacked standing and failed to allege a concrete and particularized harm. The case was dismissed, with prejudice, for frivolity and the failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted.

On January 18, 2017, the plaintiff filed a motion to vacate the order and leave to file an amended complaint. This was denied in a brief ECF order on February 9, 2017.
