ItemsPresenter bind CommandParameter to item

I have an ItemsPresenter with a context menu. In the context menu there is one menuitem and I want to bind the CommandParameter of the MenuItem to the Item inside of the ItemsPresenter. But I'm having trouble getting to the Item. How Do I bind the CommandParameter to the Item? The item is a ViewModel Object I created.

<ItemsPresenter Margin="24,0,0,0" >
<ItemsPresenter.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu>
<MenuItem Header="Remove file from OCR list" Command="{x:Static commands:OCRCommands.RemoveFile}" CommandParameter="{Binding}">
<MenuItem.Icon>
<Image Source="/ThemeManager;component/Images/Delete - Copy.png" Width="15" Margin="5"/>
</MenuItem.Icon>
</MenuItem>
</ContextMenu>
</ItemsPresenter.ContextMenu>
</ItemsPresenter>

<GroupStyle x:Key="groupItemStyle">
                                <GroupStyle.ContainerStyle>
                                    <Style TargetType="{x:Type GroupItem}">
                                        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,0,5"/>
                                        <Setter Property="Template">
                                            <Setter.Value>
                                                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type GroupItem}">
                                                    <Expander IsExpanded="True" Background="AliceBlue">
                                                        <Expander.Header>
                                                            <DockPanel>
                                                                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" Margin="5,0,0,5" Width="200" />

                                                                    <TextBlock Text="(" />

Hello,

I've added screenshot of when my Execute Command Handler is called. When I bind using CommandParameter="{Binding}" I get an object of the MS.Internal.DataCollectionViewGroupInternal.
In Debug mode I looked inside this object and I see it as a collection and the Item I really wanted to bind to is present in the collection. My question is how to I bind directly to my object via XAML.

I've attached a screenshot showing what I got and What I'm trying to get.
