Juan Francisco Maldonado v. Texas

Paid petition · Court of Appeals of Texas, Thirteenth District, No. 13-12-00696-CR · judgment October 9, 2014

Certiorari denied · October 1, 2018

Pre-decision estimate: 0% cert probability

Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.

Question presented

The Court of Appeals erred in applying the incorrect Fourth Amendment standard to Mr. Maldonado’s traffic stop. Once the purpose of the traffic stop concluded, reasonable suspicion did not exist to extend the already-completed stop for a canine sniff, a drive to the nearest checkpoint, or Mr. Maldonado’s signing of a consent to search his vehicle.
