Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, No. 20-1724 · judgment September 27, 2022
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Third Circuit decision below, a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and counsel who has filed here before.
Questions presented
-
Is it an important federal question of law for the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether U.S. Courts of Appeal should be permitted to issue “NOT PRECEDENTIAL” opinions, as they undermine the Rule of Law by facilitating treatment of facts contrary to governing rules of law and evasion of proper application of law?
-
Is an appropriate occasion for the exercise of the U.S. Supreme Court’s supervisory authority over the federal courts, for the sake of the Rule of Law, because Third Circuit used a “NOT PRECEDENTIAL” opinion to render an unprincipled decision misstating the facts contrary to pleaded fact and motion to dismiss rules, evading proper application of law in Title IX and Title VII, and destroying individual livelihoods?
