Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 20-2223 · judgment October 19, 2020
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Question presented
Whether a pro se litigant who in good faith fol lowed the procedure and practice of the district court when filing posttrial motion(s) can be penalized for a CM/ECF failure that renders the clerk’s office inac cessible or the clerk refuses a paper. Whether in the interests of justice this Court should exercise its leadership and supervisory author ity to immediately establish a clear and concise nation wide standard to address inaccessibility of the clerk’s office for purposes of electronic filing because litigants are losing important appellate rights.
