Dennis De Jesus v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 18-11092 · judgment January 27, 2021
Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition and an Eleventh Circuit decision below.
Question presented
When a court erroneously holds that it lacks jurisdiction to decide a matter, can a cursory statement that the court would deny relief on the merits if it had jurisdiction qualify as an alternative holding, as determined by the Third, Fourth, and Eleventh Circuits, or is such a statement instead merely dicta of no binding effect, as determined by the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits?
