John Paul Gosney, Jr. v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 22-12049 · judgment February 1, 2023
Before the decision, about 3.9× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, an Eleventh Circuit decision below, and a petition citing three to ten dissents.
Question presented
I Whether United States v. Monsanto, 491 U.S. 600 (1989), and/or Kaley v. United States, 571 U.S. 320 (2014), should be overruled or at least modified. II If not inclined to reconsider Monsanto or Kaley, whether the Court should nonetheless vacate outright the ex parte restraint on the funds petitioner needs to retain trial counsel of choice or, at a minimum, remand for a hearing as to traceability, particularly when the government concedes that the restrained funds were neither listed in the indictment’s forfeiture count nor presented to the grand jury for a probable cause determination.
