Gilberto Ramos v. United States

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 18-7055 · judgment March 19, 2019

Certiorari denied · October 7, 2019
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability

Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and counsel who has filed here before.

Question presented

When does a state post-conviction remedy qualify as a “successful attack” on a prior state sentence, such that a subsequent federal sentence enhancement is invalidated, and resentencing is warranted?
