Robert R. Snyder v. California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 18-55335 · judgment June 21, 2018
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Question presented
Does a person or entity have immunity from prosecution under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 when rights that have been secured by the United States Constitution have been violated by said person or entity acting under the color of state law? Should the Ninth Circuit have appointed counsel to sit before it for a comprehensive debate on - petitioner's behalf to discover this case's hidden - value? Is it possible that the District Court did not apply the "serious questions" test, thereby making an error of law in denying the TRO in this urgent situation? Was it a case of misconstruing the facts that lead to the legal conclusion in this matter?
