Tim Osicka v. Office of Lawyer Regulation
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 21-1566 · judgment February 7, 2022
Before the decision, about 1.7× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and counsel who has filed here before.
Question presented
Did the Court err in determining that an assessment for costs and fees for the Wisconsin Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) in an administrative attorney disciplinary proceeding, did not compensate the government for an “actual pecuniary loss” under 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(7) and therefore was a nondischargeable debt in bankruptcy, when that assessment reimbursed the government for the exact dollar amount it spent in its prosecution?
