COF · ADA appeal dismissed

The Fifth Circuit dismissed a former employee's ADA appeal against Capital One because the appellant's brief violated Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 28 by failing to cite the record or adequate legal authorities. The dismissal is a procedural win for Capital One, but the underlying claims were already dismissed with prejudice at the district court level, so this ruling does not change the company's legal or financial exposure.

• The Fifth Circuit dismissed plaintiff Sean Michael Tiller's appeal of his ADA claims against Capital One for failure to comply with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 28.
• The district court had already dismissed Tiller's claims with prejudice on February 5, 2026, after he failed to state a plausible claim.
• No damages were awarded or sought in the ruling; the opinion does not mention any financial exposure for Capital One.
• The ruling is procedural and does not affect Capital One's operations, finances, or legal liability.
