Titles: Africans' Circuit Court motion
Description: The Africans' filed this motion calling for the dismissal of the United States' appeal to the Circuit Court following the District Court decision. They argue that the United States cannot appeal because the U.S. never had personal interest in the case, nor can they pursue property claims in the American courts on behalf of a foreign nation.
