Charles Meyers, et al. v. City of New York, New York, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 19-892 · judgment April 30, 2020
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
A. How individualized must government permission be to raise fair notice protection under the due process component of the Fourteenth Amendment? B. Is notice that government permission has been revoked, prior to dispersal of First Amendment assembly, necessary to satisfy the Fourteenth Amendment fair notice protection? C. This Court has ruled that reaching a Fourteenth Amendment constitutional question without first considering whether a municipal statute is dispositive of the matter, so far departs from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings as to call for this Court to exercise its supervisory power by: granting certiorari; vacating the summary decision of the Circuit Court; and remanding the case for consideration of the statutory grounds (“CVR”). Does reaching and deciding questions of First and Fourth Amendment constitutionality, without first considering whether statutory provisions are dispositive of the matter, call for such a grant of CVR?
