CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The city of Cleveland filed a motion to dismiss former Mayor Dennis Kucinich’s appeal Saturday.
In an April 15 letter, the city previously promised that if Kucinich chose to file a lawsuit with representation, it would officially file for dismissal.
In the motion, the city asked the Eighth District Court of Appeals to dismiss, saying the lawsuit filed by Kucinich cannot stand because state law prohibits nonattorneys from filing lawsuits on behalf of taxpayers.
Kucinich’s lawsuit was dismissed last month, which brought on this appeal the city is pushing back on.
The city and the Browns reached an agreement last October allowing the team to move to Brook Park.
Kucinich had initially filed a lawsuit against the city of Cleveland and the Browns in 2025, saying they both failed to legally enforce the lease to keep the Browns in Cleveland.
The city wants the appeals court to freeze the briefing until the court decides whether Kucinich has the legal standings to proceed with his suit.
