Peck v. Crouser
Annotate this CaseAppellant filed a civil complaint against Respondent. Respondent moved to dismiss the complaint and filed a motion for an order declaring Appellant to be a vexatious litigant. The district court granted the motion to dismiss and declared Appellant to be a vexatious litigant. Appellant's appeal was untimely as to the order of dismissal but timely as to the vexatious litigant order. At issue before the Supreme Court was whether the vexatious litigant order was substantively appealable. The Court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, holding that vexatious litigant orders are not independently appealable under any statutory provision.
