Lazelle Maxwell v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 20-5755 · judgment March 19, 2021
Before the decision, about 7.1× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and a circuit split argued in the petition.
Question presented
Whether, when deciding if it should “impose a reduced sentence” on an individual under Section 404(b) of the First Step Act of 2018, 21 U.S.C. § 841 note, a district court must or may consider intervening legal and factual developments.
