David Sosa v. Martin County, Florida, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 20-12781 · judgment January 20, 2023
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Questions presented
Baker v. McCollan, 443 U.S. 137, 145 (1979), held that mistaken “detention pursuant to a valid warrant but in the face of repeated protests of innocence” violates the Constitution. The en banc Eleventh Circuit’s application of Baker to this case presents two questions for review.
-
Does Baker’s right against overdetention require courts to apply a reasonable, totalityof-the-circumstances analysis, or does the case only protect against mistaken overdetention for longer than three days?
-
Does Baker’s right against overdetention fall under the Fourth Amendment’s proscription against unreasonable searches and seizures, or the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of substantive due process?
