David Banks v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, No. 21-1410 · judgment January 5, 2023
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a dissent in the court below, a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and counsel who has filed here before.
Question presented
Did the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit violate the Petitioner’s rights under the First Amendment when it sealed almost the entire transcript and almost all of the filings in a related habeas corpus proceeding? Do the Rules of the District Court for the District of Colorado unfairly and unconstitutionally restrict the ability and discretion of the trial court in ruling on a motion for sealing?
