Kenneth Miller v. Robert Ferguson, Attorney General of Washington
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 19-35032 · judgment April 26, 2019
Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Ninth Circuit decision below, a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and counsel who has filed here before, and down for a state or local-government respondent.
Question presented
Is the following question one that jurists of reason would find debatable? Does the total prohibition on the exercise of a person’s fundamental Second Amendment right to keep a firearm in one’s home for purposes of self-defense constitute the type of “severe restraint on liberty” described in Hensley v. Municipal Court, 411 U.S. 345, 351 (1973) which satisfies the habeas corpus custody requirement of 28 U.S.C. § 2254(a)?
