NEWARK, N.J. — A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed against the U.S. Postal Service and Postal Inspection Service in which a New Jersey man claimed missing mail caused severe financial and personal harm.
U.S. District Judge Julien X. Neals threw out the complaint filed by Mahmoud Elmilligy after granting his request to proceed without paying court fees, ruling the case did not meet legal standards required to move forward.
Claims tied to years of missing and rerouted mail
Elmilligy alleged that between 2022 and 2025, critical mail—including IRS checks, legal notices, and employment-related documents—was stolen, rerouted, or interfered with, particularly through a post office in Budd Lake.
He said he repeatedly contacted postal staff and supervisors through phone, email, and in-person visits but received no meaningful response or investigation.
