Ulric Jones v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 17-3443 · judgment February 11, 2019
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings as to call for an exercise of this Court’s supervisory power or has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with relevant decisions of this Court such as a criminal defendant’s right to retained counsel as set forth in the Sixth Amendment and Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit – in taking the petitioner’s counsel’s right to practice before the appellate court based upon a non-related civil case – interfered with petitioner’s continued representation by said counsel, thereby, violating petitioner’s Sixth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
