Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 17-2802 · judgment March 9, 2018

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.

Questions presented

  1. Did the Seventh Circuit violates its own Standards and Rules and violate petitioners' due process rights in falsely accusing an attorney of pretense, fraud, lying, and incompetence in a judicial opinion, without any notice and opportunity to be heard?

  2. Did the Seventh Circuit violate petitioners’ due process rights in sua sponte ordering that sanctions would be imposed against petitioners for any further actions related to the case?

  3. Did the Seventh Circuit err by allowing the district court to state only subject matter jurisdiction would be briefed, but then claim the district court dismissed on the merits and petitioners waived any merit's arguments on appeal, without first giving petitioners an opportunity to respond?
