I have filed an Appeal in Federal Court, 8th District, Missouri. In the absence of my attorney, since discharged, I signed the petition for appeal as a ProSe Shareholder of an S Corporation. My filings were filed in a timely, proper manner. After several briefs and reply briefs were accepted by the court, from both the appelant and appellee, the Clerk of the Court, having realized we had signed ProSe contacted me stating even though the Court had accepted our filings, corporations can not be represented by individuals and the signing of our original petition was not valid. The Clerk of the Court gave us a written 30 day abeyance period in which to obtain licensed counsel and resubmit our petition and briefs. I obtain licensed counsel who entered himself as our attorney and adopted the petition and briefs we previously submitted to the Court. The Court then dismissed our appeal, stating our original petition was not valid as it was not signed by a licensed attorney. We are now filing with Federal Supreme Court, stating that the State Supreme Court violated our civil rights of due process.
