Carlos Loumiet v. United States, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, No. 18-5020 · judgment January 28, 2020
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
This Court has stated that individual unconstitutional acts “are difficult to address except by way of damages actions after the fact,” 1 and that “forums of defense,” together with fee-shifting provisions, are an insufficient “patchwork” to cause “the Judiciary to stay its Bivens hand.” Here, did the Court of Appeals correctly 2 conclude that a forum of defense and an unrelated feeshifting statute preclude a Bivens remedy? 1 Ziglar v. Abbasi, 137 S.Ct. 1843, 1862 (2017). 2 Wilkie v. Robbins, 551 U.S. 537, 556 (2007).
