Valueland Auto Sales, Inc., and Ron Benit v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 20-3596 · judgment May 13, 2021
Before the decision, about 2.3× 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 a Sixth Circuit decision below.
Question presented
When the district court dismisses all criminal charges against a defendant, does that court have jurisdiction over a motion to expunge the records relating to those charges, as held by the Second, Tenth, and D.C. Circuits, or does the district court lack jurisdiction over such motions, as held by the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eleventh Circuits?
