Raja Mittal v. County of Clark, Nevada, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 17-16081 · judgment March 23, 2018
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Question presented
Whether removal of a child from parent's custody without a judicial order or a warrant, and in the absence of exigent circumstances, violate Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights guaranteed by the constitution? Whether the Rooker Feldman doctrine was improperly applied to due process claims when the petitioner alleges fraud by the defendans, leading to violations of constitutional magnitude that affected liberty rights of the Petitioner. When the issues raised in the federal court were claims independent of the state court order and none of the claims involved a challenge to the state court order.
