United States v. Andre Ralph Haymond

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, No. 16-5156 · judgment August 31, 2017


Decided · June 26, 2019
Pre-decision estimate: 31% cert probability (95% interval 21%–44%)

Before the decision, about 7.6× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a federal-government petitioner, counsel who has won certiorari before, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition).

Question presented

Whether the court of appeals erred in holding "unconstitutional and unenforceable" the portions of 18 U.S.C. 3583(k) that required the district court to revoke respondent's ten-year term of supervised release, and to impose five years of reimprisonment, following its finding by a preponderance of the evidence that respondent violated the conditions of his release by knowingly possessing child pornography. THE MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL IS GRANTED, AND WILLIAM D. LUNN, ESQ., OF TULSA, OKLAHOMA, IS APPOINTED TO SERVE AS COUNSEL FOR RESPONDENT ANDRE R. HAYMOND.
