FRANK J. FISHER,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
MICHELLE M. PERRON,
Defendant-Appellee. |
No. 21-1184 |
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Port Huron.
No. 3:20-cv-12403—Robert H. Cleland, District Judge.

OPINION
_________________________
JANE B. STRANCH, Circuit Judge. Frank J. Fisher alleges that his sister, Michelle M.
Perron, violated federal and state law by recording various phone conversations among himself,
Perron, and two other siblings that discussed their late mother’s estate and related litigation. The
district court dismissed his complaint with prejudice for failure to state a claim. Because the
complaint fails to allege facts sufficient to state a claim under either the relevant state or federal
laws, we AFFIRM the district court’s dismissal of the case. |

OPINION
_________________________
SUTTON, Chief Judge. When contract negotiations broke down between an Ohio
juvenile court and the union that represents the court’s employees, the union took the court to
federal court. Because the juvenile court is an arm of the State, the district court correctly held
that sovereign immunity bars most of the union’s claims. And because the union’s remaining
contentions fail to state a claim for relief, we affirm across the board. |
