Michelle Manor, et vir v. Alejandro N. Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 20-35720 · judgment October 13, 2021
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether the Ninth Circuit erred in finding that the Manors waived the issue that the trial court erred in relying upon unreliable statements made during a coercive interrogation and by giving too much weight to beliefs about what a marriage looks like to support its finding of marriage fraud? Whether the Ninth Circuit correctly applied the Matthews factors in rendering its decision? Whether the Ninth Circuit’s opinion affirming the District Court’s judgment is unconstitutionally vague violating the Petitioners’ due process rights?
