Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.

Questions presented

  1. Whether the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals erroneously exercised jurisdiction over a non-final order by creating a motion to intervene when the Government specifically chose not to intervene as a party and never filed a motion to intervene;

  2. Whether the Seventh Circuit erroneously applied and analyzed a good-cause analysis that was never argued or ruled upon in the district court; and

  3. Whether the Seventh Circuit’s holding violates fundamental principles of procedural due process.
