Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 16-50104 · judgment November 7, 2018
Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Ninth Circuit decision below, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and counsel who has filed here before.
Question presented
I. Whether it is constitutional to extend 18 U.S.C. § 2423(c) to noncommercial conduct allegedly committed by a foreign citizen and resident against other foreign citizens entirely within a foreign country. II. Whether a defendant’s exercise of his right to counsel of choice by timely requesting to substitute retained counsel may be circumscribed by the factors implicated in a request to substitute appointed counsel, or instead whether the right to retained counsel of choice must be honored in the absence of compelling justification.
