Natalia Marshall v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 19-2250 · judgment September 22, 2021
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and counsel who has filed here before.
Question presented
I. Whether a suit seeking a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief is rendered moot on appeal if the plaintiff remains negatively impacted by the laws at issue but the nature of the injury or capacity in which she maintains standing differs from when the suit was initiated. II. Whether the Fourth Circuit’s decision to vacate its prior opinion in Hirschfeld I due to mootness was the equitable relief most consonant with justice when, arguendo, mootness came as a direct consequence of the laws at issue and such laws were held to facially violate the Second Amendment.
