In Marbury v Madison, 5 US 137 (1803), William Marbury tried to get James Madison to deliver his commission. James Madison, who later became a US President, was Secretary of State under President Thomas Jefferson at the time.

Marshall explicitly stated Marbury would have to refile his case in a lower court first, then appeal to the Supreme Court if he failed to get relief at that level. Marbury never refiled his case.Case Citation:Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)For more information, see Related Questions, below.
