Bilal Abdul Kareem v. William J. Burns, Director, Central Intelligence Agency, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, No. 19-5328 · judgment January 15, 2021
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a D.C. Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and counsel who has filed here before.
Question presented
WHETHER THE D.C. CIRCUIT’S DECISION TO DISMISS THE CASE BASED ON DISPUTED FACTS NOTICED SUA SPONTE AND WITHOUT DUE PROCESS WAS IMPROPER. WHETHER THE LACK OF GUIDANCE FROM THIS COURT HAS RESULTED IN CONFUSION ABOUT APPROPRIATE SCOPE OF JUDICIAL NOTICE AS TO THE TRUTH OF FACTS CONTAINED IN ONLINE MEDIA PUBLISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
