Tony Love v. Ron Neal, Warden
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 21-2406 · judgment July 7, 2023
Before the decision, about 2× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and down for a state or local-government respondent.
Question presented
Whether courts should determine the procedural due process protections that apply in prison disciplinary proceedings by balancing ordinary due process principles against a prison’s penological needs under the test this Court established in Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539 (1974), and Superintendent v. Hill, 472 U.S. 445 (1985), as the Second, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits hold, or whether courts should instead recognize only those rights recognized in Wolff and Hill, as the Seventh Circuit held below.
